AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Finely hand crafted Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) solid 900 silver cup.
The 5 petal shaped lobes delicately hand chased and engraved with ducks - some in flight, others alternately facing each other or with heads turned back - set in cartouches amidst scrolls on matted ground

It is rare to find Qing silver bowls of this simple yet elegant form decorated with an overall chased design as seen on the present vessel.
The design pattern is expertly placed and superbly executed, a testament to the very fine workmanship of the Qing silversmith. Vessels of this exquisite quality and rich decorative motif were made for imperial use at the many banquets held by the Qing court.

Apparently unmarked - as genuine 17th century antique are - and positively tested for high grade silver

Width 6,2
Height 4,2 cm
Foot diameter 3,4 cm
Net silver weight 75 grams

Condition report:
In fine circa 325 years old original condition, there is a 2mm crack on side of foot (picture 9) - great patina, minor scratches, a few dark areas need to be polished - no repairs, no dings, as you can see in pictures that are part of the description

Seller's Story

Now browse and search through my auctions to find the unexpected! Over the last 40 years, I have been collecting silver Works of Art. Carefully selecting every single piece that speaks for its rarity, provenance, historical significance, excellent craftsmanship, functional peculiarity and harmonious proportions... Time has now come to release them back into the market, so that new generations of demanding collectors and individuals that - just like me - love to surround themselves with items with character can enjoy them as much as I did. I photograph them honestly and describe them to the best of my knowledge. Good luck to your bids!!!
