Think your family silver is English or early American? Think again. Millions of American homes have 55 Chinese silver hiding in drawers and cabinets — misidentified for generations as English or early American heirlooms. In this video, we reveal 7 pieces of 59 antique silver from the Canton trade (1780s onward) that could be worth way more than you guess, from a $30 spoon to a $19,500 tea set that belonged to U.S. Navy Captain Waldo Evans. You'll learn how American sea captains traded ginseng and furs for custom Western-style silver, how to spot the tiny workshop stamp that gives it away — like Wang Hing (Canton 1854) — and what to check tonight in your own drawers. Featuring: export silver spoons & forks, card cases, napkin rings, trinket boxes with dragon chasing pearl, pierced baskets, handled mugs/cans, and full tea sets with birds among prunus branches. Values from $30-$80 for plain pieces up to $400-$1,200 for fine dragon relief, and $2,000-$19,500 for complete sets. Value doesn't hide in a museum. It hides in the ordinary stuff. Go check your cabinets tonight and tell me in the comments what you find!
