Description

Height 3 in., 7.6 cm

Collection of Mrs. Dague Eliane, prior to 2003.

The circular marking on one side of this vessel indicates that it likely once sported a handle. For a related handled silver cup of a very similar form, see a an example decorated with parcel-gilt flower sprays, attributed to the 8th-9th century, formerly in the collection of Dr. Paul Singer and Arthur M. Sackler, now preserved in the National Museum of Asian Art, Washington, D.C., published on the Museum's website (accession no. S2012.9.2100).

The cost of the tariff, $300.00, plus applicable sales tax will be included on your invoice unless you instruct Sotheby's to arrange shipping of the lot to a foreign address.
