[QUOTE="khl889, post: 184195, member: 104"]Upside down, it's marked 利興紋銀 "Li Xing Wen Yin [Sterling Silver]." ("Li Xing" is the modern reading of this name; as an old shop name it probably would have been different.) Edit: Looking at this again, I suppose it's possible the first character is 和 not 利, which would make the name He Xing. It's hard to tell because the mark was made with a well-worn chop.[/QUOTE]
