[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 13309775, member: 51"]Found this at an estate sale yesterday. What would you call this piece? A pill or snuff box? Also would this green oxidation be consistent with silver? Might the white residue on the edges be silver polish? I google imaged the signature and got this: The image shows two Chinese silver hallmark stamps reading [B]吉順[/B] ([I]Ji Shun[/I], likely a silversmith or shop name) and [B]足紋[/B] ([I]Zu Wen[/I], meaning "full/pure silver" or fine silver standard). It's fairly light in weigh, the metal seems stamped. All thoughts appreciated.
