Page 559 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

This close-up view of the
reticulated curved gallery of
the tazza dish
demonstrates the superb
skill of this silversmith. The
layering of the foliate motif
gives an added dimension
to the piece.
The crane bird and the
manner in which it has
been grouped with the
curved single bamboo stem
supporting the dish is
genius.
