A large porcelain gaiwan with a classical blue double dragon design. Its carefully shaped large saucer allows the lid to rest balanced between it and the bowl when the gaiwan is uncovered. The dark blue pattern has small accents of red and is set against a white background that is just cool-toned enough to verge on blue.
The elegant concentric design of dragons soaring among clouds over the waves emphasizes the dragon’s role in Chinese legend as the bringer of rain from the sea to water the crops, and therefore the harbinger of prosperity.
