The former for example produced a three-piece tea-service in the typical Kutch-style with lizard handles. On that example, however, the insulators run through the legs of the lizard rather than through the body as on the present example (from the collection of Harish K Patel, see https://silverfromindia1850-1920.blogspot.com/p/indian-silver-from-kutch-gujarat.html). Raghavji also uses the same motif on a drawing for a two-handled cup and cover which also includes similar animal scenes to those here, which are a recurring theme in the work of both Mawjee silversmiths. Another example, perhaps more comparably to this hot-water jug, is a wine-jug by Oomersee from the collection of the British Museum (museum number 2011,3014.74).With non-transferable standard ivory exemption declaration number EHHQKQ93.Additional Image Courtesy Harish K.
