Hanoverian tablespoon by Sunshing, Canton, c1790 Silver: China Trade: Pre 1800 stock# 902
click for details		North Hill Antiques (845) 357-4484 $600
Front-rib tablespoon with slashed drop, feathered script mono D H L on reverse; 7-3/4" long, excellent condition. Given the script mono, we have dated this piece at 1790, rather than an earlier period when Hanoverians were in style. It is probable that Sunshing was commissioned to make a complete set of front-rib spoons with the engraving in the style of the '90s. NOTE: Other Chinese, Colonial India and other non-American silver available; send email for list.
