I am so knocked out over this beautiful pot. One of the joys of my business is that I get to handle so many wonderful works of art, and this one is exceptional. It is impressive in size and weighs over 50 pounds. Well over 100 years old, it reflects the rich culture from whence it came. Originally, these pots were made to store black "century eggs" which were a delicacy that took weeks or months to prepare. It is handsomely decorated with two amazing dragons. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a powerful symbol of good fortune, strength, and authority, historically linked to imperial power. It represents a balance of yin and yang, and is associated with wisdom, ambition, and rain. The dragon is the most popular figure in the Chinese zodiac, and people born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to possess its positive qualities, such as leadership abilities. This beauty will turn any garden or patio into a showplace.
19: in height. 19" in diameter at the rim, c. 19th century. Excellent estate condition with some chipping around the bottom edge, some minor bumps, but no major damage.
This item is too large and heavy to ship by common carrier. I will hire an independent hauler to deliver door to door for $175.
