Vintage Blue White Dragon Porcelain Lidded Tea Mug Set Japan Nihon
Striking pair of vintage Japanese blue and white porcelain lidded tea mugs featuring an elaborate imperial dragon among clouds and waves motif. The finely detailed dragon wraps dynamically around the vessel, symbolizing power, wisdom, and protection in traditional East Asian art.
Executed in rich cobalt underglaze on luminous white porcelain, the design showcases exceptional detail—from the dragon's finely rendered scales to the swirling clouds and ocean waves beneath. Each mug includes a matching porcelain lid with a rounded finial and cloud decoration, perfect for steeping loose-leaf tea or displaying as a decorative collectible.
Marked 日本 (Nihon / Japan) on the base, indicating Japanese origin and craftsmanship.
These elegant mugs blend traditional Asian symbolism with mid-century Japanese porcelain production, making them a wonderful addition to collections of Asian ceramics, dragon motifs, or vintage tea ware.
