Rare Marked Japanese Solid Silver & Copper
Inlay Figural Shrimp Lobster Sash Clasp or Buckle
or Seafood Utensil
Presented is a rare stunningly detailed solid silver figural shrimp or lobster with
copper inlay sash or belt buckle or seafood utensil. This great piece finely
crafted using multiple metals including Silver, copper and iron. The mark and
the style of inlay of this piece appears to me to be the work of highly regarded
Japanese artisans of world renowned high craftsmanship. This is an elegant
piece separates into three parts; an extended tail with a short pronged end,
and the head that removes from the tail that reveals a longer two tined fork
out from the head. It has no monogram, dents or dings and only some fine
scratches from gentle use and care with only the slightest loss of inlay where
hallmark has disturbed the silver. This is a rare piece and an excellent
beautiful item for the silver collector.
