The deep rounded sides rising to a flared rim, the exterior incised with two striding five-clawed dragons, the bodies in green enamel, the heads in an aubergine glaze and with white enamel detail to the eyes, teeth and body, all in pursuit of ’flaming pearls’, all above a border of crashing waves circling the foot, the base with a six-character mark of Kangxi in underglaze blue within a double circle. Period: 20th century. Diameter 22 cm.
