Dear Terry, Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal. Based on the images and available information, this item is: It appears to be a late variation of the forward-facing dragon found on blue and white ceramics developed from the Yuan period (1271-1368). The inspiration for such an unusually portrayed dragon probably originated from Southern Song (1127-1279) paintings. In the long history of Chinese ceramics, the Xuande period (1426-1435) is generally regarded as the highpoint of blue and white porcelain production. This was due to a combination of enthusiastic imperial patronage, technical ingenuity and the finest levels of artistry. It seems this is a late reproduction from 19th century of such unique pieces. Retail prices may vary.
