Vase with dragon
Flowers and birds are commonly found on famille noire ware, but this vase features two powerful dragons chasing fire pearls among clouds in a design showcasing a strong color contrast of green and black enamel. The whimsical expressions of these dragons reveal the potter’s sense of humor, which is unusual in Chinese ceramics.
