Vintage Chinese Brass Dragon Handle Lidded Tureen Qing Hot Pot with Foo Dog Lid
The domed lid is chased in deep relief with a dragon and phoenix (long feng, the classic emblem of harmony and marital good fortune) swirling through clouds around flaming pearls, finished with a beaded border. It is crowned by a cast openwork finial of two confronting dragons. The bowl carries a band of shou longevity medallions at the rim and a stylised dragon-panel frieze below. It is flanked by two dramatic cast dragon-head handles, jaws open and tongues out, and stands on three mythical beast-mask feet ending in claws. a stunning talking centrepiece for any table.
