Pair of Chinese Antique Silver Pumpkin Form Boxes With Applied Enamel Dragons
Silver boxes of shallow pumpkin form (possibly for trinkets) with applied dragons or lizards enamelled in green and with brown enamelled storks. They are realistically modelled each having a stork and have various markings to the base, please see the 12 photos. Kindly note that I do not speak or read Chinese or Japanese so my attribution is on the basis of the more likely attribution which would appear to be Chinese. Apologies if this is not the case but there are no doubt enough people who will view this and will have the required expertise and language to know their origins, dates etc. Each box has a small loop to the cover, one complete and the other not. If they are related I would be fascinated to know their purpose. There is also one larger green leaf which is on its own. The boxes are in very good condition with no dents. The only condition issue being the end of the loop on the cover as already mentioned. Approximate Width 6.8cm (2 5/8 inches). Approximate height 4cm (1 1/2 inches).
