Posted: January 24th, 2026 | No Comments »

Behold the Taikoo Club Bowling Championship Cup, 1921, crafted in Chinese silver, with a 90 hallmark of the silversmith Wang Hing, who had shops in Hong Kong (Zetland House, 10 Queen’s Road), Canton and Shanghai, on the base. The cup was warded by D Templeton Esq. to John Russell. Templeton worked for Taikoo Sugar in Hong Kong and was probably Scottish as he’s recorded as a member of the St Andrew’s Society in Hong Kong.
