Description


A LARGE SILVER ‘DRAGON’ RETICULATED PUNCH BOWL, MARKS OF SUI CHANG AND WANG HING

Expert’s note:
During the 19th and early 20th century, entertaining in Europe and America became a fashionable and prestigious habit amongst the society elites. Chinese export porcelains and silver articles played a significant role in these events as they showcased the owner's level of wealth, refined taste, and culture.

China, late 19th to early 20th century. The circular body richly cast, embossed and chased with dragons writhing between a pierced ground of swirling clouds around a flaming pearl cartouche, raised on three dragon supports.


Inscriptions
: Stamped ‘Sui Chang’, ‘WH’ (mark of Wang Hing & Co), and ‘90’ (for 90% silver purity).


Provenance
: Chicago trade.

Condition
: Superb condition with minor old wear and manufacturing irregularities. Light scratches and occasional minuscule losses and dents. The glass liner with light scratches and manufacturing irregularities as well.

Weight: 4,376 g (incl. glass liner) and 2,379 g (excl. glass liner)
Dimensions: Diameter 33 cm

With a matching glass bowl to the inside. (2)


Probably the greatest and finest Chinese Export retailer
of the period, Wang Hing started trading in Canton soon after 1842 when, with the end of the First Opium War and the treaty of Nanking, China opened its ports to foreign merchants and Hong Kong became a British colony.


Wang Hing was the trading name chosen by the Lo family
who established the business and passed it down for generations until 1941. Although little is known about the founder of the company, we know that the Lo’s were a wealthy merchant family living in one of the richest areas of Canton, the district of Xiguan.


Thanks to the fine quality of the pieces
and to the entrepreneurial abilities of the family members, the reputation of the firm grew. In the 1920’s Lo Hung Tong, grandson of the founder, opened a store on Queen’s Road, Hong Kong and another in Shanghai.


Literature comparison:

For further information on Wang Hing, see David Chan, Chinese Export Silver: The Chan Collection, Asian Civilizations Museum, Singapore, 2005. See a related silver dragon punch bowl, retailed by Hung Chong & Co., Shanghai, with Koopman Rare Art, London, illustrated in Roland Arkell, “Silver Linings”, Antiques Trade Gazette, October 2019.
