This image shows a cobalt blue glazed pottery piece, probably crafted from porcelain. The vessel has a bulbous body with a spherical base, decorated with embossed designs that appear to be floral or vegetation patterns. On the side of the main body, there is a smaller cylindrical spout-like structure, mirroring the main neck of the vessel which is topped with a flared rim. The most striking feature is the sculpted animal figure that curves over the top, serving as a handle. The creature resembles a mythical dragon or a stylized horse with extended nostrils, mane details, and an open mouth through which the stoneware's interior can be glimpsed. The creature's forelegs are raised, as if it is rearing or pawing the air. The vessel shows signs of age; the surface has a network of crackle patterns, and there is visible wear or erosion at places where it seems the glaze might have been chipped off, exposing the rougher material underneath. The pottery piece is displayed on a simple, neutral-toned pedestal that contrasts with the vibrant blue of the glaze.
