Several examples of chased silver in the Chinese taste bearing the mark or attributed to David Willaume appear between the dates of 1698 and 1715. These include a coffee pot on stand (unmarked, circa 1715), a brazier (Willaume, London 1698), a two-handled bowl (Willaume, London, 1712), formerly in the collection of Sir John Noble, and a pair of small cups (Willaume, London, 1712), sold in the R.W.M. Walker Collection at Christies in 1945. A similar example, given to Louis XIV by ambassadors from Siam in 1686, at the Trianon of Versailles. Inv. No. V2018.8.
Similar examples of 18th century Chinese export silver are also known to exist bearing English hallmarks of a later date with maker's marks for silversmiths including Andrew Fogelberg and Paul Storr. The latter's mark appears on several hexagonal teapots for the 1820s with alterations for local use such as wooden handles or ivory insulators.
