A Chinese Ming Dynasty green and iron-red dragon bowl, potted with rounded sides flaring to the everted mouth rim, the exterior well-painted, a pair of sinuous dragons striding above turbulent waves breaking on rockwork, picked out in green enamel against an iron-red ground, the interior similarly enameled, a dragon playing fire-ball, the base bearing the underglaze blue Jiajing reign mark. 2 3/4" H x 6 1/2" diameter. Provenance: From a private Boston, Massachusetts collection.
