Golden metal and onyx with dragon heads cup

Period: ca. 1950-1970. The onyx's translucent orangeish hues blend well with the open-air gilded metal gallery. The tazza sits on a brass was and square base. The two handles in the shape of fantastic dragon heads give this piece its character. Dimensions: 15 cm edge height, 19 cm dragon head height, 23 cm diameter, 30 cm width with dragon heads, 1, 772 kg. Status: good but not perfect. The gilding on the edge has faded. The onyx has a closed crack that does not detract from the beauty of the room (it is difficult to tell if it is a natural crack in the stone or not).
