AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Wonderful 'stem cup' (a stemmed cup) in silver, Chinese/Tibetan style, richly engraved with decorations of birds, flowers and foliage.

The stem cups were used to offer water or flower petals to Buddhist deities.
The form is inspired by the Persian model; objects of this form were produced in China from the Tang era up to the eighteenth/nineteenth century.

Dimensions: 116 mm x 116 mm x 37 mm

Net weight of silver: 72.5 grams

The top edge is slightly bent; overall it is in good condition.

There are no assay marks, but I guarantee that the object is made of silver because it was tested with the appropriate acid by a trusted jeweler; in the photos, the spot where the test was performed is highlighted.

The item is cleaned and inspected before being professionally packed and shipped with insured and trackable shipping.
