MAGNIFICENT AND EXTREMELY RARE PIECES !!!
COULDN\'T FIND THESE ANYWHERE ELSE !!!
ONLY A SIMILAR PIECE WAS FOUND BY Fabergé
Note: This listing contains two(2) very similar pieces with slightlydifferent artwork. You are welcome to purchase one or both, but if you purchaseboth, USE YOUR CART because I offer both combined shipping and a quantitydiscount (more details about multi purchase discounts can be found below after item description).
LISTING IS FOR YOUR CHOICE OF HIGH RELIEF GOLD ENCRUSTED DRAGON MOTIF PORCELAINEGG w/STAND
HAND-APPLIED, HEAVY MORIAGE DRAGON DESIGN
EGG COLOR/FINISH: COBALT BLUE, BRIGHT GOLD EGG, GLOSSY
STAND COLOR/FINISH: BLACK STAND, HIGHLY LACQUERED
ALTHOUGH BOTH PIECES ARE THE SAME IN COMPOSITION, SIZE AND COLOR, THE DESIGN IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT (differentiated in the drop-down menu as \"slinky dragon\" and \"winged dragon\").
MATERIAL: THE EGG ISPORCELAIN, BUT I AM NOT SURE OF THE RAISED DRAGON DESIGN MATERIAL. USUALLYTHESE ARE GOLD GILTING, BUT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE, I CAN\'T VERIFY THAT. IS SUSPECT IT IS GOLD GILTING DUE TO THEIR AGE AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE STILL SHINY WITHOUT TARNISH.
AS STATED ABOVE, THESE SEEM TO BE QUITE RARE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THEM ANYWHERE, SO ALL I CANGIVE YOU IS A DESCRIPTION TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THE ONLY “SIMILAR” LOOKING PIECE I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE WAS FROM Faberge (you can see this piece included in the drop-down menu with each egg in the last photo which is being included as a reference to show the similarity of the high relief design work). THERE ALSO WERE A FEWPIECES WHICH WERE NOT QUITE AS ORNATE FROM NIPPON, BUT I FELT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A SIMILARITY TO INCLUDE THOSE PHOTOS. YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE.
I AM NOT ABLE TO TRANSLATE THE ASIAN LETTERING ORMAKE A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF THE POSSIBLE MANUFACTURER, SO I HAD TOCATEGORIZE THESE AS “UNBRANDED”. I REQUEST IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO IDENFITY THESE,I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HEARING FROM YOU SO I COULD EDIT THE LISTINGACCORDINGLY.
CONDITION: BOTH ITEMS WEREFOUND AT AN ESTATE SALE THAT HAD 100’sOF COLLECTIBLE ITEMS. THESE WERE FOUND IN A HUGE GLASS-ENCLOSED CABINET. THE FAMILY ESTIMATES THESE PROBABLY TO BE CIRCA 70\'s OR POSSIBLY 80\'s BECAUSE THEY DON\'T BELIEVE THEIR MOM TRAVELED OR COLLECTED SINCE THEN. BOTH AVAILABLE PIECES ARE IN MINT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE ISSUES TO REPORT ON THE PORCELAIN OR GOLD DESIGN, AND THE HIGH RELIEF DESIGN IS BRIGHT AND SHINY WITH NO TARNISH. PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THELISTING.
