-Origin: China
-Period: 1920-1940
*Technical details and wear indicative of this era:
1. Type of oxidation and alloy: 在带盖的宏观照片中可以看到内部螺纹处的深绿棕色调的暗色氧化皮。古董型的银白铜合金（巴拉拉亚合金/早期20世纪的中国白金）铜含量和镍含量较高。经历数十年以及酒类潮湿环境，这种合金会形成此类真实而致密的腐蚀，现代件通常使用较轻的合金或薄镀很难仿制。
2. The manufacture of the neck and threads: 如果观察酒壶口部的切割与金属厚度，不会看到现代工业化的完美光洁外观。塞子外部与内部的花纹铰削说明采用较原始或半工匠式机械加工，典型于1920年代至1940年代在北京、上海或广州的金属加工作坊。
3. The aging of the settings: red cabochons 周围可见白绿相间的氧化物迹，以及金属与红色部件相接处的污垢和古旧金属抛光残留物的固化。这类污垢仅在件物长期暴露于环境中才会累积。
4. During the Republic of China period, artisan workshops mastered the art of imitating coral using opaque, marbled glass. They achieved that "bright coral red" (oxblood or coral red) tone by mixing components in the crucible and allowing the veins to cool naturally.
-Style: Traditional Oriental / Chinese Art
-Material: Alpaca (German silver / Maillechort in France) and glass cabochons.
-Technique: Repoussé, chiseling, openwork, and hand-molded glass. The main body has a slightly hand-hammered finish.
-Ornamentation: The front features a central rhomboidal medallion with a relief of a traditional Chinese dragon. The upper and lower edges are decorated with openwork and chased bands of flame and mythological motifs. The screw-on top includes a safety chain attached to the body and is flanked by two cabochons of antique Peking glass in a deep coral red color, with a subtle internal marbling that imitates precious coral. The back is smooth with a natural patina.
-Hallmarks: There are no visible hallmarks or silversmith's marks.
-Measurements:
*Total height (to the ring): 13.7 cm
*Body height: 10.7 cm

*Width of the central medallion: 5.5 cm
*Maximum thickness/depth: 3.8 cm

-Condition: The item is in an antique condition, typical of its age and use, with normal cosmetic marks that add character and authenticity:
*Exterior: Some scratches and minor dents or dings due to age.
*Interior: Shows evident signs of deep oxidation and patina due to the nature of its original alloy. It is recommended as a decorative piece, for display, or for collectors. The screw mechanism works correctly.
