Two silver casters
Price: € 160,00
Set of two Japanese sterling silver (950/1000) casters in the shape of a parasol resting on a pair of traditional wooden clogs, called geta 下駄, and the other in the shape of a three-stringed lute, called a shamisen 三味線. Even the snares of this instrument are made separately.
Both marked ‘Sterling’ and ‘950’ on the bottom. A higher grade silver than the usual 925/1000 sterling silver ratio.
Both are in a very good condition. Please look at the photos for reference.
