Antique Ming blue Chinese Jar, with dragon motif. Sturdy porcelain jar with robust shoulder region curving into a feminine waist that extends all the way to the bottom forming the raised circular base. The exterior is encapsulated in Ming-blue dragon motif. Chrysanthemum and vine patterning adorns the upper shoulder region wrapping its tendrils around the jar. Chrysanthemum is a treasured flower in China and is a symbol of joy and a wish for peaceful retirement. The Dragon is a symbol of the Emperor, Son of Heaven, eternity, Yang and Yin, male potency and fecundity. The foot rim reveals the cut edges during the making process, and the base left unglazed with grayish creme-brown ground and dark spots of firing marks.
