A Tibetan embossed and chased white metal tea bowl stand and cover with polished jadeite bead finial.  Height 19cm. Such cups and covers, dhakya, were used in Tibet by senior monks (Lamas) and aristocratic The stand and cover are made of a typical white metal, a silver alloy .  This cup stand and cover was made in Tibet in the nineteenth century, although the style pre-dates that.
The stand or base is of stemmed form with the tapered cylindrical foot being chased and pierced with a band of stylised leaves. The open lotus flower shaped "saucer" is inset onto the tapered stem with the scalloped rim made to look like eight lotus petals. The bowl cover is also pierced, engraved and decorated with stylised repousse work using Buddhist and traditional symbols.  The top is decorated with a polished jadeite bead.  The tea bowl shown in the photographs  is just the typical product from your local Chinese supermarket and you may very likely have something much more beautiful to show off your stand to best effect.- in fact this one is slightly too large for the cover which should stand on top of the bowl.
