Of ovoid form, the jar moulded with a sinuous chilong dragon around the mouth rim, overall suffused with attractive celadon green glaze with mottled russet tone on the dragon, the base covered in celadon glaze and inscribed with six character Qianlong mark. Qing Dynasty period.

螭龍貼塑裝飾始見於元代景德鎮窯，明清官窯流行，但燒造數量稀少。此罐造型獨特，收口、鼓腹、平底。口沿由左至右貼浮雕螭龍，昂首仰探，意趣橫生，四足做攀爬狀，脊背隆起，動感十足，卷草形雙尾流暢蜿蜒，盡顯蟠曲之姿，頗具美感。通體罩施豆青釉，釉色瑩潤如玉，極見勻淨雅靚之致，蕩漾著婉約含蓄之氣；螭龍局部施釉裡紅，經窯火加工而與青釉交融形成自然紋理，宛如天成，極具自然意趣。 “大清乾隆年制”款識。
