Wine Bottle with Dragon and Flaming Pearl Decoration
Description
Bottle of glazed white porcelain with underglaze blue decoration of a dragon amid clouds, chasing the flaming pearls. The bottle has a long narrow neck with a slightly everted rim, and a voluminous globular body on a circular foot. The neck of the bottle displays brown banding under the glaze, also present on the interior, indicating use of iron rich clay in the body. The cobalt is also iron rich and shows signs of the 'heaping and piled' effect where it breaks through the glaze.
Title
Bowl
Description
Crudely made bowl with slightly everted rim and rough cut foot-ring. Dirty gray glaze is heavily cracked and blemished, and a coagulated deposit adheres to the partly unglazed foot-ring and base. A raised almond-shaped patch, ground down, on the outer wall, probably resulted from accidental contact with another bowl in firing. Below the rim on the outside are two leafy sprays, freely painted in dull blue.
