For your consideration is a beautiful Chinese chinoiserie pottery vase.  This vase has the shiny black background with what looks like a handpainted serpent dragon.  This is done with white, blue and lavender.  It has scales painted in the white and blue and lots of gold to outline them.  The dragon head is in gold.  The vase has 2 handles.  It is 8" tall and the base is 3 3/4" in diameter.  The widest diameter is 6".  It does have one little chip in the black paint on the back which you can see the pin point in the picture.  No other chips or cracks.
