The detail on this magnificent Kashmiri silver jug is sooo good!

The ever scrolling chinar flower is the most popular of the Kashmiri silver motifs and this jug is completely repousse worked with this design

The photograph with the champagne bottle is to get some idea of the size but why not celebrate!

We also have a smaller piece of Kashmiri silver - again the same quality which we will have at Fine Art Asia 2024 Hong Kong
