Zoomorphic dragon-shaped pitcher, Chinese porcelain, 19th century

Descriptio Molded porcelain with monochrome celadon glaze. Dimensions not specified. A sculptural pourer conceived in the form of a stylized dragon, with its sinuous body arranged on a rectangular support and coiled around a circular bead that forms the reservoir. The dragon’s head acts as a spout, its mouth open and expression dynamic, while the curved tail forms the handle, integrating functionality and symbolism into a single composition. The surface of the body is decorated with subtle flame motifs in low relief, reinforcing the idea of ​​energy and power associated with this mythical creature. The entire piece is covered with a delicate and homogeneous pale celadon glaze, reminiscent of Song Dynasty designs. Made during the Qing Dynasty, the piece reflects the 19th-century historicist taste for reinterpreting classic forms and glazes of Chinese ceramics.
