Cylindrical vase
unknown1644/1911
Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia
Reggio Emilia, Italy
Globular body vase with high cylindrical neck with slightly open hem and ring base; decorated in relief by a sinuous long dragon, being fantastic and good-natured. In this canonical representation, the celestial dragon, among the clouds, seems to descend, wrapping itself around the neck of the vase, towards the base where the agitated waves of the Ocean are depicted.
