About the Item
A large Vietnamese altar vase with dramatic flaring neck and bold dragon motif. The black ground sets a striking stage for a dynamic design that unfurls across the surface—an undulating dragon rendered in tones of blue, green, cream, and rust orange. The creature’s arched body and stylized flames seem to move with energy around the curvaceous form of the vessel, its long white whiskers and scaled body adding contrast and depth.
This commanding vase balances the sculptural presence of its tall silhouette with the intricacy of its detailed, raised decoration. The scale and coloration lend themselves to impactful placement, whether styled alone on a pedestal, anchoring a sideboard, or framing an interior entrance.
With its mythic symbolism and vivid palette, this Vietnamese altar vase transforms any surface into a focal point. It invites close inspection, blending cultural storytelling with a commanding decorative presence.
