Description from the seller

Wonderful "stem cup" (stemmed cup) in silver, Chinese/Tibetan style, richly engraved with designs of birds, flowers, and vegetation.

Stem cups were used to offer water or flower petals to Buddhist deities. The shape is inspired by the Persian model; objects of this form were made in China from the Tang era up to the 18th/19th century.

Measurements: 116 mm x 116 mm x 37 mm

Net silver weight: 72.5 grams

The upper rim is slightly bent; overall it is in good condition.

There are no makers' marks, but I guarantee the item is made of silver because it has been tested with the proper acid by a trusted jeweler; in the photos the point where the test was performed is highlighted.

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