Dear FTJJ, Thanks for the help. I will put “The Chan Collection” into eBay as a "saved search!" Do you happen to know whether “The Chait Collection of Chinese Export Silver” and “Chinese Export Silver 1785-1885 - Forbes, Kernan, Wilkins” mention the retailer WA? (I would hate to buy a book...
Dear FTJJ, Thank you ever so much for sharing your wisdom. I continue to be amazed by how helpful and knowledgeable people I "meet" on the internet can be! I tried to buy a copy of the book you cited, “Chinese Export Silver - The Chan Collection.” But unfortunately it is out of print and I...

I have tried to research this mark myself to no avail. Does anyone here have an idea who the maker is? Thank you very much in advance. Penelope Here are the candlesticks: https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Here is the mark on the bottom of both of them: https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg
Hi Trev– I still don't get it. I have two very small images on my computer (50 KB and 78 KB) and I don't understand how to embed them.
