Chinese Export Silver Epergne

CA: LATE 19TH/ EARLY 20TH CENTURY

Description

Consisting of a tall central trumpet-form receptacle, surrounded by three additional ones of slightly smaller size. Each decorated with four-clawed dragons in deep repousse and with fine chasing.  The central dragon on the large central holder is posed upright and clasping the effulgent pearl in one of its clawed legs. This is very unusual, as the pearl is often otherwise shown slightly out of reach.
Height: 13 inches (33 cm.)
