dragons about to capture the flaming pearl; all on a partially ring matt decorated body. Height 2
¾’s X 1 ¾’s, w/out handle. Weight 2.2 Troy oz. Apparently unmarked, this piece in the opinion of
the owner, though difficult to date is a Museum quality example of Chinese silver workmanship
from the early to mid 19th century owning elegant fire tendrils. Minor dents.
