Chinese Export Silver Dragon Bowl with 1914 Tientsin Club Presentation

About the Item

Chinese export silver bowl, ca 1914. Round and curved with molded mouth rim. Applied prunus blossoming branches with perched birds. Three scrolled dragon supports—horned and slack-jawed with “flaming” neck ruff. Engraved presentation on underside: “Tientsin Club / Billiard Handicap / Autumn 1914 / Won By / A. B. Stewart”. The Tientsin Club was in Tianjin in the British Concession (a concession was foreign-controlled territory conceded by the Chinese government), which was surrounded by foreign powers: the French, German, and Russian Concessions as well as China proper. The club was a safehouse of English tradition in a newly destabilized world. Back home war had broken out and soldiers were digging trenches in France. But these momentous events were a world away for the expats who participated in the club billiard tournament. The winner was AB Stewart, who was an accountant at the trading company of Jardine, Matheson & Co. Marks include Shanghai retailer’s stamp (Luen Wo). Weight: 16.8 troy ounces.
