    Last post I promise, just looking for confirmation that this is Chong Woo export silver.
    I'm hoping someone more experienced can help me out.
    Thank you in advance.

    Welcome Lee. I can tell it is Chong Woo. But can't see a silver fineness mark.

    Thank you for replying, I couldn't see one, all I saw was the glyph. This mark is on one of the feet.

    Now, since I'm a noob at Chinese Silver, I really struggled to find much background. Can anyone help with the artisan mark that goes with it? How far after 1849 would this be from or is there a way to tell? I would love to add any information to the story of this piece as I can.

    The fineness of Chinese Export silver is generally between .850 and .970, but it can be as high as .999.
    Older Export jewellery can be .800, btw.
