Jade Cloud and Fire Dragon Teapot

$325.00

Powerful and beneficent dragon, wielding the power of transformation and the gift of rendering itself visible or invisible at pleasure, is the inspiration for this translucent white Xiu jade teapot. The head and neck of the intricately carved dragon form the handle as its serpentine body sinuously wraps around the bowl of the teapot on one side, which represents the sun, moon and the "night-shining pearl" of potentiality. On the other side of the teapot bowl are carved clouds. A five-tongued flame serves as the finial to the lid. 5-1/4" height by 6-3/4" length by 3-1/2" depth; 10 ounces capacity.
