Page 647 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 647

Pipes were not just confined to silver; the pipe [above] is made of brass.
























            This pipe [above] is a more unusual example - made from silver, it has the owner’s name applied in gold [not
            brass], while on the reverse is an applied high relief dragon in gold. A fine high relief applied silver dragon on
            the example [below].
