Description

The Small Dragon Temple Jar showcases a finely painted five-clawed dragon (long, 龙), a motif once reserved exclusively for the Emperor and the imperial household. Surrounded by swirling clouds and stylised flames, the dragon creates a striking composition full of movement and strength. Its elegant temple jar silhouette, complete with a matching lid, makes it a distinctive decorative accent for both classic and contemporary interiors.

In Chinese tradition, the long (龙) symbolises strength, wisdom and good fortune. The base is finished with a Kangxi reign mark, paying tribute to one of the most celebrated periods in Chinese porcelain production.

Crafted from the finest porcelain, each temple jar combines traditional artistry with refined design. The softly aged finish enhances the intricate decoration, while its compact proportions make it ideal for styling on a table, shelf or cabinet. As every piece is individually handcrafted, subtle variations in the decoration and finish ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
