Hello and welcome to ChezBill, the website devoted to Chinese mother of pearl Gaming Counters/ Chips.

For those of you new to the website, there are three main areas to look at:

• Reference pages where you can identify and discover how to tell the age of counters, borders etc.
• Articles where you will find specific information on particular subjects (Billing birds / Valentine pattern, Royal counters etc.). 
• Sales pages where you will find plenty of counters for sale!

I have an extensive range of gaming counters available for purchase; only a small selection is shown here. The selection is updated regularly and includes a reference code to help you place your order. If there is a specific counter or type of counter that you are looking for please contact me and I will get back to you promptly. I regularly supply gaming counters to jewellers as well. I buy good quality counters and am always happy to hear from you if you have counters you are looking to sell.

My own personal collection of armorial gaming counters is the largest of its type in the world and contains over 1300 different counters.

I can also supply a ready made collection, fully annotated, of over 200 armorial gaming counters. This would be suitable for museum display or for somebody wishing to start collecting. In addition, I have museum quality armorial gaming boxes with matching armorial counters available.

I have written and published two booklets devoted to Chinese mother-of-pearl gaming counters. There are no other easily available reference works on the subject.  The first one, “Chinese Mother of Pearl Gaming Counters” is a very general introduction to the subject. The second one, Armorial Chinese Gaming counters, was published in July 2008. Both are available via this website.

I accept payment by Paypal or by cheque; prices are quoted in pound sterling.

Please enjoy browsing my website and do contact me with any queries or if you would like to share pictures of your own collection.
