Hmm, this is an evil dragon and I don't see many Chinese dragons' face like this.
I guess it is for use locally because of the size and weight. It is 9 x 9 x 8 inch in dimension and weigh over 1300 grams.
This piece is hollow and pretty light based on size. I think the surface of it is repousse, however, the back of it is engraved.
Lol, that makes sense. Yes probably for salt. The one on the right looks so similar as yours
Very detailed and realistic work. Japanese export silver. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Lol, There's so many nice pieces. Mine is a little bit different, but they bear the same mark. So it should be in the same period. Thank you Lol.
It is pure silver, however the tea pot was made by a piece of silver flake, the Japanese people hammered the flake and made it into a tea pot...
So it is a sugar bowl for sure. :)
Found this Chinese RuYi in Japan, I guess it should be old(dent and scratch throughout), even though it didn't bear any mark on it. [ATTACH]...
