Beautiful pair of vintage Japanese sterling silver dragon boat salt cellars, crafted in high-purity 950 silver and featuring detailed gold gilt decoration. These elegant pieces are designed in the form of traditional Asian dragon boats, with finely sculpted dragon figureheads and ornate floral roofs. Both pieces are marked “STERLING 950 JAPAN”, indicating they are made from 95% pure silver, which is a higher purity than standard sterling (925). This type of Japanese export silver was commonly produced during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1960s) and was highly sought after for its craftsmanship and unique Asian-inspired designs. The boats feature: • Intricate dragon prow figureheads • Raised gold gilt floral detailing • Oxidized backgrounds highlighting the decorative patterns • Elegant boat-shaped design suitable for salt, spices, or small condiments These pieces make a wonderful addition to a vintage silver collection, Asian tableware display, or decorative cabinet.
