Large Ceramic Potiche. With Oriental Decorations, Origin China - XXth

Large Bellied Vase in Cream Ceramic, with Chinese Decorations in Blue. Its wide opening, 36 cm in diameter, is lined with repeating patterns forming two friezes. Its swollen part offers two Dragons chasing the same Pearl, a precious object on which their powers depend. Their mouths with mustaches and goatee are topped with horns. They are prolonged by long serpentine bodies with scales and dorsal manes. Their legs are terminated by Eagle claws. These two imaginary creatures, symbols of Protection and Wisdom, are represented in the Sky from where they can watch over the Earth. The latter is materialized in the lower part by Decors reminiscent of a grassy meadow. Four round and fixed handles are embedded in the mouths of characters with marked foreheads. This two-tone Potiche in Perfect condition will particularly delight lovers of Oriental Art, who will be able to showcase their most beautiful plants. ******** Period: 20th Perfect condition.
