- Pattern: Vintage Brass, Chinese Silk Iron / Scoop, Carved Double Happiness Symbol (shuāngx)
- Made in China
- Vintage: 1950's or earlier
- Details: This is a very old sculptural brass Chinese silk iron, in very good vintage condition. It is decorated with round double happiness symbols (shuāngx), on the brass and has a time-worn, lovely wood handle. Estate Sale find from an Asian artifacts collector. Sometimes these irons are called Grain Scoops or Ladles and they can certainly be used for that, but they were originally designed as Kimono irons. The cup has a nice fluted edge and it's shorter in the front, and higher in the back. Unique home decor, would be a great addition to a bookshelf or curio. Excellent gift for an Asian collector.
- Material: Brass, Wood
- Dimensions: 3.5 inches Tall (at its tallest point), 11 3/8 inches Long and 5.0 inches Wide.
- Condition: Vintage- Used. Very Good Vintage Condition. There is some oxidation as would be expected in older brass items, the wood handle shows cracks and lots of distress, but that is acceptable, and desired in old pieces. Please review all pictures and make sure you love this item before purchasing, we can't accept returns. Please remember these are VINTAGE and ANTIQUE items, they are NOT new, every effort has been made to show scratches, wear and tear and imperfections.
