A LARGE UNDERGLAZE BLUE AND COPPER-RED DECORATED ‘DRAGON’ VASE, TIANQIUPING
QING DYNASTY, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
The vase has a generous globular body rising from a recessed base to a well-balanced cylindrical neck. It is painted around the exterior with three four-clawed scaly dragons and a scrolling dragon in powerful copper-red tones striding amongst vibrant undulating and crashing cobalt blue waves and contesting a ‘flaming pearl’. The base remains unglazed.
