Antique Chinese "dragon egg" pot (also referred to as a century-egg jar or picking jar) dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century
• Motif: The exterior body features a hand-applied, raised relief decoration depicting a traditional imperial dragon chasing the flaming pearl or an Asian bird and fern design.
• Material: It is crafted from heavy, rustic brown earthenware or stoneware with unglazed or slightly slipped relief details.
• Interior: The inner rim and interior are heavily coated in a contrasting green celadon or turquoise-toned glaze, which pools and drips naturally down the outer neck.
• Historical Use: Originally manufactured during the late Qing Dynasty period, these durable vessels were primarily used for fermenting, pickling, or storing goods like preserved "century eggs". In modern interior design, they are highly collected to serve as statement jardinieres or garden planters.
