FAQs

Chinese Export Silver refers to silverware produced in China between the late 18th and mid-20th centuries specifically for export to Western markets. These items combine Western functional shapes with traditional Chinese motifs, such as dragons, bamboo, and flora.

These pieces were crafted from silver, often meeting or exceeding sterling purity standards. Artisan silversmiths utilised repousse, chasing, and hand-casting techniques to form raised dragon motifs and simulated bamboo handles.

Authentic items typically feature makers marks or workshop stamps, often combining Chinese characters with English maker initials such as Luen Hing. Detailed hand-chasing, substantial weight, and characteristic silver oxidisation further distinguish original period pieces.

A silver jug functions as a metallic accent on a sideboard, drinks cabinet, or bookshelf. It pairs effectively with dark timber backgrounds, contemporary glassware, and neutral stone surfaces to create visual contrast.

Clean silver using a soft cotton cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish to preserve chased detail. Store the item in a dry environment inside an anti-tarnish cloth bag to minimise tarnish and oxidisation.
