What does the “CC” mark mean?
The CC mark is associated with Chinese export silver produced in Canton during the 1830s. Pieces bearing this mark reflect the early 19th-century Canton export trade, when Chinese silversmiths produced wares for Western merchants, travelers, and collectors. The mark is typically found with Chinese character punches or pseudo-hallmarks, a common feature of export silver made to appeal to European and American buyers.
