Rare Burmese Chinese Southeast Asian Silver Salt Hindu Vishnu Deity 19th Century

🌟 Product Details

🆔 Inventory Code INV2099 Ⓜ️ Material Silver 🏳️ Origin Chinese 🏛️ Period Qing Dynasty (Late 19th – Early 20th Century)  🅂 Subject Salt Shaker 🏷️ Marked Unmarked  📜 Description

A rare and unusual 19th-century silver salt shaker, likely Burmese or Chinese export silver made for the Southeast Asian or colonial market, beautifully decorated in high relief with Hindu deity figures.

This globular-bodied shaker is cast and hand-chased with a series of standing or dancing multi-armed deities—possibly forms of Lakshmi or Vishnu—framed within shaped panels and adorned with floral borders above and below. The pierced domed lid is intricately decorated with a lotus rosette motif, heavily patinated with oxidized verdigris and silver sulphide accretions, consistent with age and original use.

Although unmarked, the craftsmanship, iconography, and repoussé technique are strongly indicative of 19th-century Burmese (Mandalay-style) or Southern Chinese silver—both regions known for producing religious and export silver of this kind, often without maker’s marks.

🔍 Condition

GOOD ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) – heavy patina and oxidation, especially on the pierced lid. Surface wear, tarnish, and minor dents consistent with age. Please refer to the photographs for close-up details.
