Description
The previous owner was trying to say something about "Ming origins" but there is no markings on it despite it sure looks old. He never had it cleaned, me too as it was to be crossing USSR border and like that it looks more like pewter.
Technology in it is as follows: the body itself is smooth, soldered from several profiled pieces of flat and bent silver. The handles are hollow, the dragon and the rooster are separately made and soldered onto the body. Of course all hand-done and very finely detailed.
If there is a buyer for it, the sale is better passed through eBay/PayPal system unless the buyer has an agent in NZ.
