(pair) Chinese bronze dore pilgrim jars/ moon flasks, each having dual dragon-form handles, over reserves depicting dragons and flame motifs, among cloud scrollwork, approx 9"h, 6.5"w, 3"d, 6.75lbs total 

03.14.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 3365: I note that both flasks are presently intact and stand sturdy, the gilt finish retaining an overall uniform and rich tone, with typical small areas of light rubs and mellowing commensurate with age and use, additionally I observe typical scattered pitting, which is overall minor, and some minor nicks to the foot ring and mouth (not perfectly round due to these small dings but are overall minor), and there is a small seam located at the joinery of dragon head to the neck, but does not appear to affect structural integrity, dragon handles appears to remain fully secure to flask
