Beast-mouth Cloud Dragon Silver Pot

Beast Mouth - Cloud Dragon

The animal mouth motif originated from Warring States period bronzes and is one of the most traditional Chinese patterns.

The cloud and dragon pattern symbolizes the power of nature. Clouds follow the dragon, and wind follows the tiger. The dragon is the main motif on this pot, with clouds as the secondary motif. The dragon dances and gallops among the clouds.

The cloud and dragon motif first appeared on Tang and Song dynasty porcelain, such as the cloud and dragon patterns on various Yue ware vases from the late Tang and Five Dynasties period, and the dragon patterns coiling and dancing among auspicious clouds on Song dynasty Ding ware printed plates. Cloud and dragon patterns became even more common on porcelain from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. This teapot, with its antique charm and majestic grandeur, has been integrated into modern life.
