This teapot is not alone, it comes with 3 or 6 cups with the same superb pattern. A pure silver service, shaped and hammered by hand. The motif of a snaking dragon on the body of the teapot and cups, stylized, between flames and clouds of steam. The spout and the handle are polished, patinated, and give a mastered rendering of the whole. The small cups no less worked, are smooth inside, like the teapot elsewhere.

The dragon is the symbol of wisdom, power and luck.

"Silver tea has a softer water quality, the silver and sodium ions released have a disinfection role" that's why silver was offered to newborns. 

Sterling silver has been crafted for over 300 years in Hunan Yongxing, the silver capital of China.
