Vintage Pottery Bowls

VINTAGE EXTRA LARGE AND HEAVY CHINESE “DRAGONS CHASING THE FLAMING PEARL” TERRACOTTA POTTERY FISH BOWL – JARDINIERE PLANTER. This EXTRA LARGE Chinese fish bowl jardiniere planter measures 16″ high, 17″ round at the rim and 11 round at the bottom. It has a 3/4 thick clay body and weighs a whopping 40 lbs! It features two dragons “chasing the flaming pearl” with a choppy-stormlike ocean at the bottom and small cloud formations at the top. The four-clawed dragons are highly STYLIZED and influenced by Chinese dragon paintings. The images are quite a joy to see “in the round” similar to sculpture (see successive photos). The glaze colors are mottled dark brown with a mottled carmel color for the images created in slight relief. The interior is glazed mottled dark brown and the top rim is unglazed. The top rim has a Chinese character stamp along with a few Roman numeral stamps (see photos with zoom tool). It can be used as a koi fish-lily pond bowl, a flower/tree planter or as a table base. I estimate this vintage extra large and heavy terracotta pottery fish bowl – jardiniere planter to be from the 1950′s-60′s. This RARE extra large fish bowl jardinière planter in good condition for being about 50-60 years old. It has a few bottom and top edge glaze nicks/inclusions. The unglazed rim has color variations with some enamel overspray from the firing process. Please see photos for condition. Please excuse the glare spots in the photos… This piece is fine and without blemish. What a great addition to your East Asian or Arts & Crafts decor! The extra large 45 lbs.
