A fine Qing Dynasty silver water dropper crafted in the shape of a blossoming lotus flower, a common symbol of purity and prosperity in Chinese culture. The main vessel is a petal-shaped bowl with a gracefully curved spout and a small lotus seedpod on the side. The stem resembles a bamboo section, forming an integrated channel that allows for precise water control. This piece was used on a scholar’s desk for moistening inkstone when grinding ink, blending functionality with refined artistic design. The silver patina has aged naturally, enhancing the antique aesthetic. An elegant and rare item for collectors of Chinese scholar’s objects and silverwork.
