[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 265848, member: 2844"]It is 19th century Chinese, Canton enamel, from Guangdong province in southern coastal China. The stamp is the maker's mark. There were countless silversmiths in that part of China at the time. There are small lists on different sites, but they mainly focus on Chinese Export Silver, and this pin was made for the domestic market. But there are people on the forum who can read Chinese script, you can get their attention if you edit the title to include: Chinese mark, translation please.[/QUOTE]
