Chinese Export Silver Chrysanthemum Powder Box Hung Chong (c. 1860 1930)
Chinese Export Silver Chrysanthemum Design Powder Box – Hung Chong c. Marked on bottom with maker’s mark HUNG CHONG of Shanghai and a Chinese character. (as far as I can tell) there is a screenshot of online page I used to Identify the mark. Approximate weight 130 grams not sure how accurate my scales are but will easily be within 10 grams +/. No major dings or dents. Has some scratches on the bottom as well as name scratched into the bottom, as seen in pics (I imagine it could be buffed out). Hammered surface decorated with repoussé flower design. A really beautiful piece. Please check pics carefully as they form an integral part of the description.
