Chinese Republic Period Blue and White Dragon Bowl & Saucer
This elegant Chinese bowl and saucer set dates to the Republic period and is a fine example of early 20th-century blue and white porcelain. Delicately potted, the porcelain features a translucent rice-grain (rice pattern) design, which allows light to pass through the body and adds a refined, ethereal quality to the piece.
Both the bowl and saucer are beautifully decorated with finely painted blue dragons, dynamically rendered as they chase a flaming pearl at the centre. The dragons are executed with confident brushwork and excellent detail, conveying movement, power, and balance—symbols traditionally associated with strength, prosperity, and good fortune.
The combination of the translucent rice pattern and the well-painted dragon motifs highlights the skill and artistry of Republic period porcelain production. Decorative yet functional, this bowl and saucer set would make a highly appealing addition to a collection of Chinese blue and white wares or serve as a striking display piece with strong cultural symbolism.
Excellent Condition ( No Chips or Cracks )
Diameter : Bowl 13.5cm , Saucer 14.5cm
