Chinese Green Glazed Vase with Dragon Handles

This handcrafted Chinese porcelain vase features a striking apple-green glaze and distinctive dragon ear handles, a motif rooted in imperial decorative art. The glaze is subtly crackled (craquelé) — a natural effect that enhances the depth and tonal richness of the surface. Such fine crackle patterns, prized by collectors, emerged from high-temperature firing methods perfected during late Ming and Qing periods.

The sculpted handles, shaped as stylised dragons, express strength, vigilance, and protection — recurring symbols in Chinese mythology and court iconography. The vase’s form, with its rounded body and flared neck, follows classical prototypes once used in ceremonial and domestic settings.

The vivid, translucent glaze creates a refined presence under natural light, ranging from emerald to celadon tones depending on angle and illumination. In contemporary interiors, its controlled symmetry and chromatic intensity bring balance to neutral surroundings and complement both antique and modern furniture.
