Flower vase with dragon handles 14th century China This vase embodies the experimental spirit of Yuan bronze designers. It features an extravagant fusion of various contemporary decorative motifs: bold dragon handles, intricate plant scrolls, and two types of dragons along its rim and its foot. Tellingly, the two-dimensional representation of entwined dragons on its foot is replicated in three-dimensional form by a brush rest from the early 14th century. The high relief chevrons encircling the belly of the vessel have no clear precedent. Instead, this bold design feature represents the artist confidently creating a new style that departs from archaic prototypes. This experimental spirit is the most noteworthy feature of Yuan bronze designs. This decorative freedom gradually disappears during the following Ming and Qing dynasties.. Flower vase with dragon handles. China. 14th century. Copper alloy. Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). Metalwork
