Brush Washer with Dragons
A lobed porcelain brush washer decorated in underglaze blue. Scrolling dragons chase flaming pearls within roundel-like panels on the lobed walls, framed by bands of blue lines at the rim and foot.
Look closer: Small blue dragon medallion partly visible on the far left wall, curving around the edge of the bowl.
