A large Chinese Ming Dynasty polychrome porcelain dish, circa 1620. Late Ming Dynasty. Painted in turquoise, black and red enamels with a central 'Split Pagoda' pattern scene, the cavetto with four landscape vignettes alternating with stylised seals. Many Mid-Century studio potters were inspired by the shapes and designs of ancient Chinese and Ming pottery.

Pair of Chinese B&W Hand Painted Dragon Urns
Pair of Chinese B&W Hand Painted Dragon Urns

Pair of Chinese B&W Hand Painted Dragon Urns

Located in Dallas, TX

Presenting a gorgeous pair of Chinese B&W hand painted dragon urns. Very rare and very unusual pair ! Both urns are lidded and are completely hand painted with dragons in dark blue and white with a tin glaze. Large acorn type finials. Each urn is hexagonal in shape with individual panels on each side. The neck of each urn has an attached pair of dragons curving around the neck of each vase. They are not marked, but based upon the natural aging of the bases etc we would estimate these to be early 20th Century circa 1920. There is something really special about these urns … we have never seen a pair quite like them and we would venture to say they may be unique ! Chinese export porcelain includes a wide range of Chinese porcelain that was made (almost) exclusively for export to Europe and later to North America between the 16th and the 20th century. Whether wares made for non-Western markets are covered by the term depends on context. Chinese ceramics made mainly for export go back to the Tang dynasty if not earlier, though initially they may not be regarded as porcelain. It is typically not used as a descriptive term for the much earlier wares that were produced to reflect Islamic taste and exported to the Middle East and Central Asia, though these were also very important, apparently driving the development of Chinese blue and white porcelain in the Yuan and Ming dynasties (see Chinese influences on Islamic pottery). Longquan celadon, which is mostly not porcelain on Western definitions, is one of the wares to produce large dishes that reflected Islamic dining habits, rather than the deeper bowls used by the Chinese. In general wares made for export, especially in the early periods, were “mainly strong and rather roughly-finished articles”,[1] compared to those for the elite domestic market, to allow for the stresses of transport, and less sophisticated customers. Other types of Chinese wares made mainly for export to other markets may or may not be covered; they are certainly described as export wares in discussing the Chinese industry, but much discussion in Western sources only refers to wares intended for Europe. The other types include Swatow ware...
