Chinese Silver Mug Dragons

Chinese Export Silver Dragon Mug - Antique Circa 1890

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Chinese Export Silver mug with dragons; an addition to our oriental silverware collection

SKU C8578

SORRY ITEM SOLD

This exceptional antique Chinese silver mug has a tapering cylindrical form.


The surface of the mug is embellished with an impressive and finely embossed undulating, iconic Chinese dragon design.


This Chinese export mug is fitted with a figural handle, realistically modelled in the form of a dragon.


This fine CES mug retains the original gilt interior; this has subtly diminished with age in an aesthetically pleasing manner.


The hallmarks struck to the underside of this Chinese silver mug with dragons include:

Maker's mark: 欒卿 (Luen Hing)

Artisan workshop mark: 通記 (Tong Ji)


NOTE: We are grateful to Adrien von Ferscht for his help in identifying the marks on this exceptional antique piece.

This antique mug is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The embossed decoration is all very sharp.

The hallmarks struck to the underside are all very clear.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of antique Chinese silverware.
