Description

Inspired by a celebrated Ming porcelain masterpiece in the collection of the Princessehof – Dutch National Museum of Ceramics, this globular vase from The Ming Garden Collection is encircled by the powerful figure of the Chinese dragon, long (龙), a timeless symbol of prosperity, protection and imperial dignity. In Chinese tradition, the dragon embodies the vital force of nature and the cosmic energy of yang—movement, growth and renewal—and is believed to bring prosperity, harmony and positive energy into the home.

Crafted from high-quality porcelain and meticulously hand-painted, every scale, cloud, and contour of the dragon is rendered with exceptional precision. A smooth, luminous glaze enhances the intricate blue-and-white decoration, while the elegant globular silhouette echoes the dragon’s flowing movement, creating a timeless statement piece that celebrates the rich heritage of Ming porcelain.
