A Chinese Export Silver Teaset of unusually small size, and formed as sections of tree trunk which is a style often referred to as bark design, and with applied prunus. This lovely and very detailed three piece set, which was made around 1890, has the maker's mark of 校，Xiao, with retailer mark of HW for the Hong Kong firm of Hone Wo. There is also an additional mark on all three pieces to indicate that it had once been imported into the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
