Antique Asian export chalice is very impressive at 11" high and 5 3/4" in diameter.The chalice would probably hold a full liter of liquid. Scrolls, leaves, flowers, and praying temple Gods are running continuously around the cup. The front of the cup has a circle of unengraved silver flanked by two horse heads. This chalice was probably meant for presentation (a horse race?). The interior of the cup has a gold wash and retains 80% of its original gilt. The cup is heavy and the work is beautifully done. The piece is unmarked but definitely solid silver Plese see our many photos of this fantastic chalice by clicking on the top left photo above. 11"High and 5 3/4" diameter
