Hi, Any jewelry, long time no see.

 

That is beautiful! How old is it?

 

Seems Meiji period. By Watanabe, a very famous silversmith.

The only thing I know this time is that, they told me best japanese silver tea pots are made without any soldering. Which means the spout is not soldered on the tea pot. The whole tea pot was made by a single piece of silver plate, hand maded and hand hammered over 200k times. They called this kind of work is single-piece-made, because of hammered so many times, silver it self is very dense and last hundred and hundred years without leak.

They told me the secret way of determine of how to ID best work of silver tea pots.

 

tq so much for sharing!! it is amazing craftsmanship

 

"The whole tea pot was made by a single piece of silver plate"

Can you clarify this statement? Is it pure silver or silver plate?

Confused.

 

It is pure silver, however the tea pot was made by a piece of silver flake, the Japanese people hammered the flake and made it into a tea pot shape including hammered out the spout on the tea pot without soldering or welding.

Lol, There's so many nice pieces. Mine is a little bit different, but they bear the same mark. So it should be in the same period. Thank you Lol.

 

This is so fabulous. I'm green with envy.

 

Absolutely beautiful!!

Is that a Western design for European/US market or for use there locally?

 

Ok, I'll have them all.

 

The alto relief of those figures is amazing.

 

I'd have said made in the Chinese taste, but.... dang that's nice.
