China, circa 475 BC to 221 BC. Finely cast, the globular body is raised on a splayed foot and fitted with a domed cover surmounted by a ring finial. The vessel is flanked by an upright bird head with bulging eyes and curved beak opposite a gracefully arched tail.The exterior is neatly inlaid in silver with horizontal bands of dragon interlace, continuing onto the foot and cover. The bird's head and neck are similarly decorated with scale-like patterns suggesting plumage, while the tail is enriched with additional geometric ornament.Provenance: A private collection in Scotland, by family repute bought back from East Asia before 1950 and thence by descent.
