CHINESE EXPORT SILVER PEPPER GRINDER

A working!! Chinese Export silver pepper grinder by Wang Hing of Hong Kong – he always knew what the Westerners wanted!

The colomnar body of the pepper has been worked with finely detailed scenes – a mixture of battles and tranquil scenes

The base is finely engraved and there is bamboo ( for resilience) around the top

The cast finial is in the form of a chrysanthemum  (that bloom through the frost) bud

There is a round reserve which has the curled initials the original owner

So much detail on one pepper grinder
