Beijing Arts and Crafts Company Silver Sake Set This exquisite piece was purchased directly from the Beijing Arts and Crafts Jewelry Import and Export Company at the Guangdong Trade Fair over 20 years ago, one of about 10 items acquired at the time. Please note that there is some clouding due to aging. The Beijing Arts and Crafts Company boasts overwhelmingly superior technical skill compared to other provincial companies, utilizing metalworking techniques such as "hammering" and "ultra-fine line engraving." This sake set is a masterpiece, painstakingly crafted from a single silver plate over an extended period. The traditional cloud and dragon motif adorns the entire body, while ancient, traditionally imagined animals are depicted on the handle and spout. The lid's knob features a personified Tang-style lion, seemingly gazing down upon and appreciating the double cloud and dragon design of the entire sake set.
