Adrien von Ferscht is now in the 10th year of his intensive research into this complex silver. This new edition will reflect the many glass ceilings of information that have been smashed since the 4th Edition was launched in 2015.
Used and acknowledged by experts, collectors, auction houses, museums and academic institutions around the world

CHINESE EXPORT SILVER MAKERS MARKS
THE 4TH EDITION IS CURRENTLY STILL THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO CHINESE EXPORT SILVER EVER UNDERTAKEN
It not only gives an in depth guide to retail and manufacturing silversmiths’ silver marks but also the highly definitive styles many of them evolved.
As a body of work, it clarifies many of the long-standing misconceptions that have arisen over the years and presents the historical evidence of how the phenomenon came into being and how it existed and interacted alongside silver that was made for the China market.
The mistaken belief that all Chinese silver marks are “maker’s marks” is explained – almost all Chinese silver marks that appear in English are retail silversmith’s marks with the majority of Chinese character marks being the mark of the artisan silversmith
Over 1000 pages, the book represents years of research by Adrien von Ferscht who is recognised around the world as the expert for this unique and highly complex silver category.
The research and the book is created in conjunction with 3 universities and is now recognised as the definitive reference guide, in particular in China itself where the awareness and understanding of this silver is growing fast.
The book is only available in digital download format as this facilitates regular updating

Adrien,
We have not talked in a couple of years. I came back to the links and pages you sent to me back then, and I thought I had purchased your book Chinese Export Silver…” at that time, but can not find it. I was looking into a Chinese export silver piece a client has. So, I clicked on your book link to buy it again (or possibly I the first time, as I can not find it on my computer) but was not able to do so. My PayPal is browntrout@yahoo.com, can you send me an invoice so I can get it again.
I hope this note finds you and all of your loved ones happy and healthy and that you are enjoying your work in China very much.
Thank you, Greg C. Brown, M.S., ISA AM.
