Rare Miniature Processional Censer, Silver Or Paktong, Dragon & Phoenix, China 19th Century

They are most often seen in brass, here is a very pretty little processional incense burner, spherical, with two hemispheres, hinged, closing with a small hook. The hemispheres are decorated with an openwork decoration of Dragon and Phoenix, fit to a chain and its hook. The material here is probably a silver alloy, Paktong, or poor silver. The interior reveals a cup for incense, rings allowing it to always remain straight, still with balancing movements. Rare item, curious!
Excellent condition, no break or flaw, just a little wear, from use.
Asian working, most likely Chinese or Vietnamese, dating from the second half of the 19th century.
Dimensions: 5.5cm in diameter. Length of the chain approximately 10cm. Approximately 71g
