Posted By: Steve Gridley Wed, Dec 30, 2020 The best I can make out in the last photo, rotated 90 degrees to the left, the top mark appears to be 盛源 for Sheng Yuan. He operated in Peking approximately from the late 1800s to the mid-20th century. The lower mark 银 is Chinese for silver. It also looks like a name was engraved on the cartouche. I cannot make out the characters. Corrections to my interpretations are welcome if in error. |
