Dragon Stembowl

360 View: A Very Rare Ming Blue and White 'Dragon' Stembowl

Although this pattern is known on Zhengde-marked dishes and zhadou, it is rare to find it on a stembowl. The only other example of this exact same pattern and size is the stembowl in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Vessels of this type decorated with striding dragons on the exterior first appeared in the Yuan period. During the early Ming period, the style was first revived in the Xuande period. Here, take a closer look at this rare and unusual work from the Gerald Greenwald Collection with our 360 view.
