{"product_id":"chinese-carved-celadon-hardstone-dragon-boat-with-figures-fitted-box","title":"Chinese Carved Celadon Hardstone Dragon Boat with Figures \u0026 Fitted Box","description":"This impressive Chinese dragon boat is carved from pale celadon hardstone and presented with its original fitted box. Long associated with strength, prosperity, and good fortune, the dragon takes the form of an elaborate ceremonial vessel with a boldly modeled head at the bow and a sweeping, scaled tail at the stern. Its sculptural silhouette makes it a striking decorative object for a cabinet, console, or collected interior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe carving is richly detailed throughout, from the dragon’s expressive face, flowing whiskers, mane, and individual scales to the pierced gallery surrounding the deck. Small carved figures stand beside a central pavilion with openwork panels, while geometric borders and wave motifs complete the design. Subtle variations of pale green, gray, and lavender within the stone add depth and character, and the patterned fitted box provides handsome storage and protection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe carving is in nice vintage condition with expected wear from age and handling. Despite these imperfections, the dragon boat remains visually impressive and displays beautifully. 5.5h x 13w x 3d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocal delivery available for a fee or pick up Westfield MA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery shipped item requires an individual quote before purchase.
