£125.00
Item number: 373/53/54

A superb Chinese export solid silver miniature shoe or slipper pin cushion? It is hallmarked SILVER along with Chinese character marks. I would date it to c1900. It has been nicely designed being decorated with a bat (representing good luck, happiness and blessings) and is in superb condition being free from dings splits distortions and repairs. It measures approx. 2.75 inches (7cm) long by 12 inch (2.6cm) wide by over 0.75 inch (2.2cm) tall and weighs 20 grams. A superb piece.
