Description

Spectacular 19th-century glazed stoneware roof ornament featuring a stylized dragon's head. This type of thick-glazed ceramic, in cobalt blue, celadon green and beige, is emblematic of traditional Chinese architecture. It is probably a finial element from a temple or official building.

The light-bodied stoneware is covered with a beautiful glaze of deep shades, with a magnificent network of cracks. Visible signs of age: chips, missing pieces and wear, but the whole remains highly expressive and decorative.
