Presented is an early Chinese Export Silver and Enamel bowl by Wang Hing created circa 1860s;


Unlike the later Chinese Export Silver and Enamel, the "cloisons" used to enclose the enamel are in the traditional manner of  intricately twisted silver wires. The use of twisted silver wires makes the enamel work stand out more;


Furthermore, The bowl bears the mark for the workshop of Qiaozhen whose mark also appears on an enameled silver dish by the Chinese silver maker with the "Gothic K" mark who was active in the 1850s;


  For a similar  Wang Hing silver enamel bowl of the same pattern that sold for $25,000 plus a buyers premium of 23% for a total of $31,000 please see the link below. The present bowl, however, does not have a textured finish and the quality of the enamel work is far more superior on the present bowl than the one shown through the link:
