A Chinese export silver-mounted black lacquer 2-handled tea tray, retailed by Hung Chong, with artisan mark, rectangular form, with faux bamboo handles, and central presentation plaque in 1937 to Mr JC Pullen on the occasion of his marriage, from the Asiatic Petroleum Co Ltd of Shanghai. Afraid I know very little about Mr Pullen except he lived at one time on Route Mayen (Huading Road) in the French Concession.
