Chinese Cizhou Dragon Vase

拍品描述

Meiping vase of elegant high-shouldered form, masterfully decorated in contrasting dark slip with a spirited, sinuous dragon. The mythical beast is rendered with dynamic energy across the central register, its scales and powerful claws meticulously detailed against the creamy ground. The composition is framed by a collar of radiating petals at the shoulder and a corresponding band of upright leaves encircling the base. This vessel's tapered profile terminates in a short, waisted neck and a small, flat rim, reflecting a classic Cizhou aesthetic.Ming dynasty H: 38 CM, 15 IN 品相： Good
