4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Informative,
By Deborah Abernethy (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paktong: The Chinese Alloy in Europe 1680 - 1820 (Hardcover)
Keith Pinn, author of Paktong: The Chinese Alloy in Europe 1680-1820, inherited a collection of Paktong from his father to which he has added pieces and done extensive research resulting in this book. Paktong, a rare Chinese alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel, was imported during the 18th century and used by European craftsman to make wares in imitation of silver. It was not until around 1820 that sucessful attempts to copy Paktong resulted in what is now known as German silver. This book analyzes the Pinn Collection to identify and understand objects made from Paktong and how these differ and can be recognized from those made of German silver.
