Han Lead Glazed Bowl with Dragon’s Handle
December 2012 Auction by Far East Asian Art

Fine and rare water dipper with a dragon’s head handle and “white silver” patina on green lead glaze. There is one small chip on the underside of rim noted in enlargements, otherwise perfect condition. I have scratched at the surface and white coat is rather powdery so a good wash might reveal a more appealing green glaze with silver patina surface. L: 20cm/7.9in, W: 13.3cm/5.2in and H: 8cm/3.1in.
