<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 3820856, member: 10944"]In my small amount of experience with Asian silver I realized I see “sterling” on Japanese pieces pretty often. Sometimes even if they are .950. I don’t really recall seeing “sterling” on Chinese pieces much (although I’m sure there are plenty of examples) more often there isn’t a non-Chinese purity mark or if there is it’s just .925 or 92.5% or S925, and so on but not “sterling”. Just a thought. Like I said I’m sure there’s plenty that does actually spell out “sterling”. I just haven’t come across it as much on Chinese silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
