Its handles are fashioned in the snake motif on either side,under which is a stylized face of a dragon. It is in excellent condition with no dings or chips, although there a a couple glazing drips on its lip as well as two small spots on the base that appear to be chips but are actually places where the glaze didn't take. This is quite common in handmade/hand painted pottery and does not detract from its beauty or its value and many feel adds to its charm. Place a Bid!
