About this pair
These two vases come as a pair from Bat Trang, a pottery village just outside Hanoi, Vietnam. Each one has a raised dragon wrapped around the body. Stand them side by side and the two dragons turn to face each other. Together they read as one piece.
The glaze is an ivory crackle with a soft grey sheen. That is the fine web of lines you can see in the photos. The dragons have blue manes and amber bodies with dotted scales. An amber beaded band runs around the shoulder. Yellow lotus and blue clouds sit at the foot, and small raised blossoms dot each flared neck.
In Vietnamese tradition, the dragon is a symbol of strength and prosperity. So a pair like this suits a big occasion: a housewarming, a business opening, or a thank you to a client who matters.
We will be straight with you. This is a high-priced piece. Photos only go so far with glaze and raised work like this. We would rather you see the pair in person at our Kitsilano shop before you decide. They are there seven days a week.
