Silver cloisonné dragon sapphire teapot

Pure silver teapot, with a magnificent cloisonné pattern of a sapphire blue dragon on a sunny yellow dotted with stylized pastel clouds. Beautiful size for such a precious object, plump highlighting the dragon which spreads over the entire width of the body of the teapot. The sturdy, plump beak and the silver interior are smooth, polished, reflective. The whole thing is gleaming, punctuated by a large sandalwood bead like a cherry on a cake, but what a cake! 

The dragon has been an auspicious sign and symbol of prosperity, luck, wisdom and power since ancient times.

Little reminder: Cloisonné is a technique where thin strips, here of silver, are firmly welded to the tire of the teapot, to form the pattern, in which the ceramic is applied. Here we have a doubly precious teapot, it is silver and it is cloisonné.

999 sterling silver, silver has many health benefits, but we can remember that it has anti-bacterial power. The ancients used it to preserve food.
