Eagle claw shaped metal vinaigrette

The antique symbol of the dragon claw holding a pearl has been translated into the more European eagle holding a ball. This motif was greatly used in English 18th-century furniture but it’s quite unusual for a metal vinaigrette (the hinged cap is perforated).  Inner glass stopper. No marks.
