Specializing in Fine Antique Chinese Porcelain

Silver Mounted Porcelain
Silver mounting was done in the Netherlands and England, usually in the 19th century. It was done to embellish porcelain and occasionally to cover a small breakage (such as the spout of a teapot). With tea caddies, it was done to make them air tight, as tea was a precious commodity. The tops were used as measures.
