The bowl and saucer, adorned with a delicate dragon-head handle, are a highlight of the set. Both are covered in naturally formed crackle patterns, the glaze a pale bluish-gray, with a warm, jade-like texture. The dragon-head handle on the side of the bowl is particularly unique, adding a touch of dynamism and nobility to the tea set. In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes power and auspiciousness; this design may suggest that this item was not an everyday object, but rather a refined piece with aesthetic and decorative value.
