Charming and dramatic monochromatic Chinese silver pill box with a banded black chamfered agate top inset into the lid. The main body of the box is oxidised silver, which highlights the intricate, low-relief decoration comprising scaly, lizard-like dragons in amongst stylised clouds, with the lid decorated with flower blossoms and foliage. The design is all repousse- hammered through from the interior- and has been created by a skilled craftsman managing to get so much detail into such a small space! The box is signed on the bottom, but the maker’s mark has not been been identified. The box is 3.5cms in diameter and 2.5cms in depth. Weight is 41.9g. A very unusual and attractive piece which will no doubt be of interest to a collector as well as making a welcome gift for a special person!
