An excellent Yokohama silver flask of ovoid form modeled with a writhing dragon on a partly-hammered ground. Visually powerful, each hand-chiseled detail contributes to the overall energy and realism of the dragon. Unlike its British counterpart, Japanese pure silver is 950 in silver content—higher than Sterling. This silver flask is in excellent condition with no damage, only some minor wear consistent with use and age. Jungin (“Pure Silver”) mark on base.

Wonderful modeling and chiseled work characterize this figure. Note the fine detailing of his hair, patterns on the kimono, expression on his face and, on the barrel, the in-relief dragon amid clouds. This ivory okimono is in very g ...click for details
