Relying on transliteration from a group of experts on this one. It is from the Qing Dynasty a period between 1875-1910 and we are told it is solid silver. We take that to mean .925 or better. It was an export piece from Beijing Wuhua House of Silver and meant for the Western Market. It is missing the glass liner that originally came with it. Bowl is 2 inches wide and just over an inch in height. It was purchased at an estate sale in the midwestern United States. Seller told me it had been in the family for at least a couple generations but had no idea who bought it or where it was purchased. It?s very light weight at 17.4 grams. We are told it?s a wonderful example of Qing craftsmanship. Probably perfect for a collector. Will ship USPS first class with tracking free to winning buyer
