Designed in the dramatic Asian Modern and Hollywood Regency aesthetic closely associated with James Mont, the piece takes its sculptural form from ancient Chinese ritual ding vessels.

The richly detailed dark metal body features an aged bronze-style finish with verdigris accents, elaborate geometric and archaic motifs, sculptural dragon-form handles, three tapered legs, and a substantial fitted lid crowned by a dramatic double-dragon handle.

Beautiful from every angle, this unusual piece combines functional vintage barware with the presence of a decorative sculpture. An exceptional statement piece for a cocktail bar, library, console, or collected interior, particularly suited to Hollywood Regency, Asian Modern, and eclectic Mid-Century settings. See less
