Hi Everyone,

Sorry, haven't come here for a while and thought to update you all who are/were interested in this Duan Stone bottle.

We researched out to a number of experts in the field of Asian Art for evaluation since first posting this Duan Stone thread. These experts (3 senior curators from a very highly respected UK museum's Asian Art Dept. and the VP of the Asian Art Dept. at one of the Big reputable auction houses) concluded...


Bottle: 18th C. Chinese.

Silver & Gold Metalwork: 19th C. Tibetan.

Damascened Belt-Hook Metalwork: 15th - 17th C. Tibetan.


All 4 experts thought the piece was/is unique and never seen one designed quite like it before with such metalworks,..........but did stress such pieces designed with metalwork often were designed to shield repairs/restoration as mentioned earlier within this thread by another member.

Anyway, just thought to share with you all these updates and to thank you all once again to for your time and help.

Kind regards,
Jo
