It features a five claws dragon chasing flaming pearl in side the bowl, and two dragons on the external edge. "Blue and white pottery" (Chinese: 青花; pinyin: qīng-huā; literally: 'Blue flowers/patterns') covers a wide range of white pottery and porcelain decorated under the glaze with a blue pigment, generally cobalt oxide. The decoration is commonly applied by hand, originally by brush painting, but nowadays by stencilling or by transfer-printing, though other methods of application have also been used. The cobalt pigment is one of the very few that can withstand the highest firing temperatures that are required, in particular for porcelain, which partly accounts for its long-lasting popularity. Historically, many other colours required overglaze decoration and then a second firing at a lower temperature to fix that. Demensions are: 1 5/8 inches tall X 6 3/4 inches in diameter.
