Two sculptural dragon handles, one forming the handle, the other the spout, are rendered in raised relief with striking gilt scales and red accents. The lid is topped with a coiled dragon finial. Classic crackle-glazed Satsuma ware with exceptionally fine linework characteristic of late-19th-century workshop production. A compact yet richly decorated collector’s piece.
