Description

While a lovely muted glaze coats this stoneware container, its most outstanding feature is the knob composed of stylized dragons that seem to chase each other around the lid. This feature resembles the Japanese Netsuke avidly collected by Europeans for decades before Gensoli created this piece. Marks: impressed artist's cipher
