About MeThis Chinese porcelain vase is decorated with dragons, smoke, clouds and flowers. The dragon symbolises male prowess, strength and divine rule and represents the height of power and auspiciousness.
Clouds are an important part of Chinese culture and are found in many forms of fine and decorative art. Because they are seen as being situated between heaven and earth they are considered part of the celestial realm.
