Amphora Vase
A tall porcelain vase with a pear-shaped body, a ringed neck and a flared mouth, glazed in a soft pale celadon green. Two handles rise from the shoulder and end in dragon-like heads that arch toward the center of the rim. Incised scrolling motifs and fine bands circle the body.
Look closer: Faint incised scroll motifs sit on the shoulder beneath each handle, easy to overlook against the glaze.
