CHINESE EXPORT SILVER MELON SHAPED TEA SET

Share

Description

This exceptionally heavy Chinese Export silver tea set has everything – finely made by Wang Hing of Hong Kong – the eight globular panels have different applied plant motifs .

Bamboo for resilience, pomegranates for abundance, chrysanthemums that bloom through the frost, fuchsias for love, plum blossom for new beginnings.  Each piece of the set has these motifs worked just a little differently

Finest weight and quality, this set could well have been a wedding or anniversary gift given the symbolism
