Japanese Export Silver Dragon Bowl
Recently Appraised

Japanese Export Silver Dragon Bowl

This is a detailed Japanese export silver bowl, likely dating from the Meiji period (late 19th to early 20th century). The bowl features a classic 'Japanese Dragon' design in high-relief repoussé work. The dragon's body intricately wraps around the circumference of the vessel amidst swirling clouds and stylized waves. A distinctive feature is the pierced openwork or reticulated construction, where parts of the background are cut away to create a three-dimensional effect between the dragon and the inner liner (which appears to be missing or integrated). The metal exhibits the characteristic greyish-white luster of high-grade silver, though there is significant tarnish and dark patina in the recessed areas, which helps highlight the detail of the scales, whiskers, and claws. The bowl sits on a plain, slightly flared circular foot ring. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the photo, this style is synonymous with workshops in Yokohama such as those of Kuhn & Komor or Samurai Shokai. The condition shows some minor surface abrasions and signs of handling, but the structural integrity of the complex chasing appears sound. The craftsmanship is of high quality, indicative of the skilled metalworking traditional to the Meiji era intended for the Western market.
