Found in the depth of the internet, i proudly present this silver powder flask.

I guess it is Turkish production and around 200 years old.

Except the steel spring, the brass fishes and the glass-drip, the flask is made from massive silver with a tiny bit golden decoration.
Unfortunately some glass decoration got lost during the decades. One of the lost colors was red.
I'm very impressed from the cord, it is a silver wire-wove and still in a very good and almost undamaged condition.
The mechanism is fully functionable after around 200 years. Both caps are safely locked in place.

I hope, the powder flask is good enough for this sophisticated forum and some comments.
I’m looking for other examples of this glass-drip technique. Until now my internet research was fruitless.

Best wishes, Roland
