**NEW Chinese? Export? Silver box with Dragon Dancer relief on it**
Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2015 7:13 pm
Hello all!
I recently bought this box at an antique show, not recognizing the marks but (hopefully) recognizing it as silver.
I think it is Chinese Export silver because of the 99 - and this website http://chinese-export-silver.com/unders ... ers-marks/ - references marks of this kind as still being silver. Maybe being 990 or 999 in purity (the box is extremely soft and does acid test for silver).
Admin edit, read our forum rules
Here are the photos of the box. It weighs 149 grams and is 4 inches across and 1.25 inches tall with the lid on.
I would appreciate any information on a confirmed origin as well as any information on K. Seng as I cannot find anything.
Sincerest Thanks & Warm Regards,
Klingsheim
