<p>[QUOTE="khl889, post: 143802, member: 104"]This is the <i>Bao Ying</i> mark:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://chinese-export-silver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Bao-Ying-Silver-Mark.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://chinese-export-silver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Bao-Ying-Silver-Mark.png" rel="nofollow">http://chinese-export-silver.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Bao-Ying-Silver-Mark.png</a></p><p><br /></p><p>While the second character 盛 is the same in both marks, the first character seems different: it's 宝 bao in <i>Bao Ying</i> but looks like 王 <i>wang</i> (or possibly 玉 <i>yu</i>) in the OP's mark. That is, 宝<i> bao</i> has a "cap" on top. Of course sometimes some elements of these marks get worn and don't show clearly. Further, 王 <i>wang </i>in the OP's mark seems a bit small for a full character, suggesting there is another element there, like a "cap." But I can't be sure. Perhaps the OP should look closely at the mark on other pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
