Hello everyone ...
I'm wondering if anyone here might have specific knowledge about this antique teapot .
It is .950 Sterling Silver , holds 750ml , weighs 18.5oz .
It's done in repousee , with a two dragon motif , with one dragons' head & neck serving as the spout .
Jungin is the only mark .
Has an Ivory handle (approx.70mm) mounted at 90 degrees , relative to the spout (Kyusu teapot style) .

Any input would be gratefully accepted , even suggestions as to where I can further research this teapot ( been hunting down info on it for 2+ months , with few results ).

Thank you !!
