Description
well potted with deep rounded sides and everted rim raised on a slightly tapered foot, the interior centred with an en face five-clawed dragon leaping amidst lotus scrolls within double circles, the exterior similarly decorated with a pair of sinuous dragons amongst a lotus scroll, all brilliantly painted in vivid tones of cobalt blue above a band of upright lappets circling the foot, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark in underglaze blue
Condition
The fritting along the mouthrim has been consolidated with short sections along the mouth rim touched up (maximum 10.5 cm), but otherwise the overall condition is quite good. There are also some expected minor wear and scratches to the interior.
