The flattened globular body rising from a short oval foot to a slender waisted neck, flanked by a pair of handles, the front and back face incised with a five-clawed dragon and a smaller attendant dragon leaping from turbulent cresting waves, the dragons detailed with ferocious faces and scaly bodies, writhing amongst stylised clouds and flame wisps with bats in flight, all below a band of pendent banana leaves, the base inscribes bright cobalt-blue Qianlong mark. 19th century. 8"h.
