i've had many of these and i just sold one at the nursery the other day. this one is much finer work than the others i've posted. they didn't spare any expense when slathering on that thick turquoise glaze either.

The dragon design is really gorgeous, nice find
What a cool piece :-) you always have great finds to share
that's a great question valentino. I'm not sure the answer, but i bet it did have some kind of lid sealed with wax or something like that. thank you Jenni, Mani and valentino!
still remains an pidan probably , can,t see the whole pot , probably chasing the pearl design , nice
Looks like they are called "Pi Tang Kong".

in dutch they are called matavaan in ancient Indie ( indonesia) they were holy, they stirred a rooster in the pot to get rain against the draught ,
they slighty differ from tampajans ( cool-containers which are real value
correction martavaan
