Description: A Chinese Export silver teaspoon in the Fiddle pattern, with clear Chinese export pseudo hallmarks. The teaspoon is engraved with owners initials HH over P, the P appears much cruder than the HH, so we assume it was added earlier or later by a different engraver. The hallmarks include pseudo lion passant, pseudo crowned leopards head, pseudo date letter C (or possibly a makers mark) and pseudo duty mark. This mark is shown in the book Chinese Export Silver by Forbes (page 243 figure 215), where it is described as rare and unidentified, other authors have ascribed this mark as possibly Cutshing, who used a variety of different makers marks. Cutshing is "widely recognised as producing some of the finest silver from the early China Trade period (1785-1840)" - www.chinese-export-silver.com, article on Cutshing.
