Zoomorphic dragon-shaped pitcher, Chinese porcelain, 19th century Molded porcelain with monochrome celadon glaze. Dimensions not specified. A sculptural pourer conceived in the form of a stylized dragon, with its sinuous body arranged on a rectangular support and coiled around a circular bead that forms the reservoir. The dragon's head acts as a spout, its mouth open and expression dynamic, while the curved tail forms the handle, integrating functionality and symbolism into a single composition. The surface of the body is decorated with subtle flame motifs in low relief, reinforcing the idea of energy and power associated with this mythical creature. The entire piece is covered with a delicate and homogeneous pale celadon glaze, reminiscent of Song Dynasty designs. Made during the Qing Dynasty, the piece reflects the 19th-century historicist taste for reinterpreting classic forms and glazes of Chinese ceramics.
