Mid-Century Chinese Porcelain Pot with Two Handles

About the Item

This exquisite Chinese porcelain pot features two elegantly curved handles and a rounded lid, exuding a sense of luxury and traditional artistry. The surface is richly decorated with a combination of gold and polychrome designs, creating a vibrant and dynamic visual effect.

The gold accents, applied generously on the lid and handles, enhance the overall opulence of the piece, reflecting light beautifully and creating a sophisticated sheen. The pot’s form is both practical and decorative, making it suitable for use as a serving dish or as an ornamental object in a traditional or eclectic setting. The combination of detailed painting, symbolic imagery, and luxurious gold highlights makes this porcelain pot a standout example of fine Chinese craftsmanship, ideal for collectors or as a statement piece in any home.
