Description: A Chinese export silver dessert spoon in the rare Fiddle without shoulders pattern (also called Oar pattern), described by Pickford in his book Silver Flatware as "fairly scarce". The spoon has engraved initial C on the front. The hallmarks are excellent, pseudo lion passant, pseudo crowned leopards head (old punch so lacks clarity), makers mark SS for Sunshing and pseudo duty mark. The makers mark is quite distinct, with t junctions at the end of each letter. Sunshing worked between 1790 and 1830 from New China Street, Canton, he is well known and quite prolific. An examination of other flatware by Sunshing shows he struck hallmarks in a random manner, the order has many different variations (See Chinese Export Silver page 247 for other examples).
