This late 19th-century antique Chinese cast brass pot features hand-incised detailing depicting a five-clawed dragon amongst auspicious clouds and mountain motifs. The piece is flanked by elephant head handles with loose drop rings, supported on tripod feet and finished with a geometric key-fret border along the rim. It shows natural surface wear, light verdigris, and honest interior charring from historical use.

With its generous size and heavy weight, it works wonderfully as a decorative vessel or tabletop incense burner, and would suit being used as a small planter for trailing greenery.
This piece would suit dark academia, eclectic vintage, or bohemian interior decor styles.
