Item Details

Description

This is a solid silver Meiji period Kyusu teapot . It is done in repousee with a two water-dragon motif ; the two dragons are intertwined around the body of the teapot & one dragons' neck & head serve as the spout . The lid has another water-dragon , with it's head serving as a handle . The dragon heads on the spout & lid are cast silver and are silver-soldered on . There is an Ivory handle (approx. 70 mm) mounted at 90 degrees , relative to the spout . This is a highly detailed and skilled work of the time period . The only mark that I can find is the 'pure silver' Jungin stamped on the bottom of the teapot . I have been told that it looks like the work of either Y.Nonoike or Yukitru . With no found signature , that's only guesswork , I guess. I've had trouble trying to post photos on this form , so I am including 2 links to photobucket , for the viewing of this item . http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv230/mrgeekteatoo/2009_0320Artwork0039.jpg http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv230/mrgeekteatoo/bottom.jpg Thank you , in advance , for looking at my little teapot !
