The Black Dragon Globular Vase creates a dramatic decorative focal point with its deep black ground and intricate contrasting imagery. Dragon motifs wind through dense floral and foliate details in white and silvery gray, giving the design a richly layered monochrome appearance. Its rounded, globular body rises into a tall, narrow neck with a subtly flared rim, while the reflective surface emphasizes the bold contrast. Measuring 21 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, this substantial vase is well suited to a console table, sideboard, mantel, or generously scaled shelving. Display it alone to keep the detailed artwork in focus, or coordinate it with restrained black, white, gray, or metallic accents. Its sculptural silhouette and ornate pattern make it especially effective in an entryway, living room, dining room, or study where it can be appreciated from across the space.

Behind the form

It begins in the hands.

Before a piece is painted, its shape gives it character: the shoulder of a jar, the edge of a planter, the balance of a vase. The porcelain traditions behind our collection bring together forming, hand-painted detail, glazing, and firing.

A closer look

Notice how the painted line follows the form, and how the glaze catches the light.

At home with porcelain

A place for the details to live.

We like porcelain best when it feels part of everyday life, not set apart from it. A lamp can warm a reading corner; a jar can hold its own on a console. Blue-and-white pattern feels especially at ease beside wood, linen, and a little open space.

A room note

Give a favorite piece some breathing room, then let its color echo somewhere else nearby.
