I can not tell you the detailed information of these silver vessels, as it all depends on what size you will buy and the level of crafts.

Can the sellers speak English? Without a local guide, I think the communication will be in trouble.

Some of them can speak English, but with strong local dialect, I think you'd better learn some simple Chinese to help.

I went to Lhasa last year, it is really a nice place to spend holidays. You can see these stuffs everywhere in the city. I spent 300 yuan for a delicate silver bottle. It is hand-made with exquisite flower patterns on the body. I adore it!
