This porcelain vase from Vienna, dated 1720-1730, is a striking example of European fascination with Asian aesthetics. The vase features a three-dimensional, green-glazed dragon coiling around the neck, a popular motif in Chinese art. The body of the vase is adorned with delicate floral designs in red and green, further highlighting the European emulation of Eastern artistic traditions. The vase is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
