EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent blue and white Dragon Bowl from the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi Period (1662-1722). Measuring 13.3 cm in diameter, this ceramic masterpiece is an exquisite example of Chinese artistry. The exterior of the bowl features two striking five-clawed dragons gracefully striding amidst swirling clouds and flickering flames. These mythical creatures are separated by two long stems of lingzhi, with one stem adorned with the character "fu" symbolizing good fortune, while the other bears the character "shou" representing longevity. A band of overlapping lotus leaves encircles the foot, adding a touch of elegance to this already mesmerizing piece. Turning our attention to its interior, we find a central roundel painted with yet another majestic dragon soaring through billowing clouds and dancing flames. The intricate details and skillful brushwork bring this creature to life, evoking a sense of awe and admiration. With its delicate beauty and historical significance, this Dragon Bowl stands as a testament to China's rich artistic heritage. This stunning photograph captures every intricate detail for us to appreciate its craftsmanship even centuries later. It serves as a reminder that great works of art transcend time and continue to inspire generations with their timeless allure.
