LEGACY OF LUXURY OPENS AT THE TANGLIN CLUB , SINGAPORE THIS THURSDAY MAY 15 UNTIL SATURDAY 17 MAY -CHAMPAGNE AWAITS
A Chinese Export silver hip flask
Made for the man about town around 100 years ago , its classic form and quality makes it the perfect gift for the man about town today
The oval shape has a removable cup – so the man about town can share?
Both the top and the bottom of the flask are decorated with an applied four clawed dragon
Dragons symbolise power, wisdom, and prosperity. In this case the dragons are four clawed. Five claws were reserved for only the Emperor and four claws were for important mandarins in the imperial court. For some reason the pesky foreigners also rated four claws sometimes as is the case in this hip flask
Great fun and very rare!
