A Polychrome Glazed Earthenware Vase with Serpent Handles and Claw Feet
A single polychrome glazed earthenware vase featuring a globular body and a narrow neck. The vessel stands on three molded zoomorphic claw feet decorated in blue and orange glazes. The vase is characterized by twin molded handles shaped as scaled serpents or lizards, rendered primarily in turquoise-green with orange spotting, which wrap around the shoulders and terminate by biting the rim. The main body is decorated with hand-painted floral sprays and trailing vines utilizing blue, orange, green, and purple enamel colors set against a white ground. The underside of the vessel bears a small, indistinct hand-painted black mark located near one of the feet.
