Chinese Export Sterling Silver Creamer and Sugar by Cutshing
About the Item
A two-piece set sterling silver creamer and sugar signed "CUT" and "TienXing" in Chinese, circa second half of 19th century. Cutshing was a Chinese silversmith located at 8 New China Street in Canton, active c.1825-1875. The CU conjoined mark was used 1825-1840, the CU mark 1850-1860 and the CUT 1840-1870. This helps dating the set to the second half of the 19th century. The width of the sugar and creamer is 7" and 6.2" respectively.
The surface of this lovely set features a dense and elaborate floral motifs of peony and chrysanthemum blossom and butterflies. The design was nicely executed in repousse with high relief on a subtly hammered background. By contrast, the lid and the handles were left rather plain in form more familiar in the west. The appeal was unique of the period piece of the export silvers with strong characteristics of chinoiserie and high craftsmanship to meet the western taste.

- Japanese Sterling Silver Chrysanthemum Dish Meiji PeriodBy MusashiyaLocated in Atlanta, GAAn exquisite Japanese sterling silver ornamental bonbon dish, circa 1890-1900. The piece was rendered in the shape of a stemmed branch of chrysanthemum blossom and was made for export market. Both botanically realistic and stylish, the piece showcases a high degree of artisanal sensitivity and technical ability of the silversmith who created this lovely piece. The petals that form the exteriors were outlined with deep and fluid relief lines of sculptural quality. The branches and leaves were rendered with attentions to the smallest details, with molding and surface texturizing using chasing in contrast with hammering. The interior of the dish is equipped with a conforming inner dish and when it is taken out, revealing the chased lines. The piece, although practical, is basically an okimono in sculptural form, a work of art on its own. It weighs about 22 ounces. Under the dish, it is marked "Pure Silver" in Kanji and SM in a rectangular cartouche. The research (carried out by Adrien Von Ferscht, an expert and author on Asian Export Silver) identified it to be Sadajiro Musashiya...Category
