999 Fine Silver Dragon Jar with Gold Spout & Tap, 15L

A 999 fine silver water jar worked with raised dragon motifs winding through swirling clouds and flame patterns, a tradition in Chinese metalwork signalling power and protection. The ornate lid carries a detailed floral finial, and a contrasting gold spout with tap gives the piece its ceremonial character.

Why this piece

• The relief is raised rather than engraved — it holds shadow and reads at a distance
• Gold spout against fine silver is a deliberate two-metal contrast, harder to execute than a single finish
• 15 litres with a working tap makes it usable, not purely ornamental
