Red is the color of celebration in Chinese tradition, and Legend of Asia leans into it here with a deep underglaze red laid straight onto the raw clay before firing. Sealed under a clear coat, the color gains depth and will not wear from the ribs of the squash vase body. Around that lobed form a dragon motif coils through stylized clouds, hand painted in a continuous band. This porcelain vase makes a natural table vase for a dining table, entry chest or shelf, wide at the base and steady without a stand. Because every chinese vase is shaped and painted by hand in the southern ceramic region, ribbing and brushwork vary slightly. As a red vase it brings warmth to neutral rooms, and as an accent vase it fits chinoiserie decor and classic asian decor equally well.
