A pair of blue glass overlay 'dragon' vases
Qianlong
Each of elegant pear-shaped form supported on a short splayed foot, the gently curving necks flaring out at the rim, boldly carved through the rich lapis-blue overlay to the white ground with a design of a dragon and phoenix separated by stylised taotie masks, below a register of four stylised bats, the neck and foot carved with a band of undulating leaves.
