CHINESE EXPORT SILVER SUGAR AND CREAM

A Chinese Export silver cream and sugar

Dragons rule!

Cast dragons form the handles and the finial and are all in remarkable condition

The crispness of the repousse work on the bodies of the pieces is also very fine

Just look for the bamboo feet -bamboo symbolises resilience

Both pieces retain their original gilded interiors so the cream jug could be used for any sauces and the sugar bowl could be used for nuts

The dragon  symbolizes supernatural power, wisdom, strength, and hidden knowledge.
