Commentary

When Denman Waldo Ross gave this set to Isabella, he wrote "I remember how successfully you used the chop sticks when you had Chop Suey with us: so I am sending you a pair of them with a knife to cut up things. I bought the little set in China and have no doubt that the late Empress Dowager had one just like it!"
