[QUOTE="Asian Fever, post: 392302, member: 4494"]The marking of the tea pot was written in Chinese. The chinese words should be read from right to left side(which is the way of handwriting in&before republic period), "纯银" - pure silver or solid silver, which indicates the bowl is 925 or higher. It is always made for domestic use by native silversmith. The tea pot could be older than the english words. The english words are carved much later. Marking "S8249S" could be even later than the english words.[/QUOTE]
