object type: Hard-paste porcelain painted in shaded tones of rich tomato-red coloured enamel.  The well rounded sides are resting on a shallow tapered double footring and are gently flared beneath the lipped rim.  The interior is decorated with a double line medallion enclosing two vigorously painted five-clawed dragons with long thin bodies contending a central 'flaming pearl' amongst flickering tongues of flame.  It is encircled round the well by four smaller dragons running in pursuit of 'pearls' among scattered flames.  The underside has a matching frieze of four dragons chasing 'pearls'.  All within double line borders.
