Hi all. Though Ive long decided I wasnt going near anything Oriental ,this plaque just grabbed me. Its 9 inches tall,7 1/2 wide.Almost has a majolica look to me. Any input is always appreciated .
The colors look on the new side to me. I'd guess sometime in the last 20 years. Wait for other opinions.
It is a celestial dragon with the cosmic pearl of wisdom. Looking very possessive now that he has finally managed to grab it. Chinese, or maybe from one of China's neighbours. Looks like the same kind of ceramic as those Chinese roof ornaments, so it may be meant to go on a house.
Thanks guys. I thought possibly newer,but the quality and attention to detail made me think a better newer. I just noticed theres a "g" or a "9" above the left hole on the back. I just love it nonetheless.
