clouds and thunder design in the chasing the flaming pearl is what the chinese call
Xiangyun (simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: xiángyún), are traditional Chinese stylized clouds decorative patterns. They are also known as yunwen (??; ??; 'cloud motif'), auspicious clouds, lucky clouds, and sometimes abbreviated as clouds (?; ?; yún) in English. _ YUNWEN = CLOUDS leiwen = thunder
there is also an blazing steam pattern = Leiwen - YUNwen are the most known
Thanks apostata great information I tried to take it in and interesting to hear what the design is called, so it makes sense when I look at it now, it looked unused but had signs of age when I found it what made me think it was vintage
