This 20th-century Chinese Jizhou Kiln-style dragon motif vase is a refined and elegant example of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Standing 13 inches high with a wide top measuring 5.5 inches in diameter, this vase showcases the distinctive aesthetic associated with Jizhou ware. The design features a finely incised archaic-style dragon, symbolizing power and strength, gracefully depicted in a subtle grey-black glaze against an off-white glazed background. The contrast between the dark dragon and the pale background creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricate detailing of the motif.

A band of stylized clouds adorns the top of the vase, adding to its classic Chinese design elements. The vase’s unglazed, unmarked bottom reflects the authentic, understated style characteristic of Jizhou kiln pieces. While this example is a 20th-century creation, it pays homage to the traditional techniques and motifs that have made Jizhou pottery highly prized by collectors.

This vase is not only a beautiful decorative object but also a piece of cultural heritage. Ready to place and enjoy, it will make a fine addition to any collection or interior, offering a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and timeless design.
