Pair of Chinese Terracotta Dragon Vases – Relief Decorated Earthenware, 20th Century
£80.00
A fine pair of Chinese terracotta vases, decorated in high relief with coiled dragons among clouds, symbolising power, strength, and good fortune in Chinese culture.
The vases are well-potted with elegant, balanced proportions, each featuring a waisted body, flared neck, and broad foot. The surfaces show incised decorative borders to the neck and base, and a textured ground around the dragon motif, giving depth and visual interest.
Likely date: 20th century
Origin: China
Material: Terracotta / earthenware
Decoration: Relief dragons and incised borders
Condition: Both vases are in good overall condition with no major breaks or repairs. There is surface wear, firing variation, and natural imperfections to the clay, all consistent with material and age. Some kiln marks and surface rubbing to bases, as expected.
