About the Item

This small porcelain dish dates to the early 20th century and is decorated in the blue-and-white manner with a cobalt-blue dragon in pursuit of the heavenly pearl. Ranked first amongst mythical beasts, the dragon symbolizes strength, fertility and continual success. Accents of green and red enamel add color to the blue-and-white design, suggestive of five-color ware (wucai), and faded gilt linework adds a metallic shimmer to the scalloped trim and painted motifs.
