Temple Vase Tote-Bag

This Tote-bag is inspired by the Burrell Collection's pair of stoneware vases made in China, during the Ming Dynasty around the 16th century.

The vases are shaped in a baluster form with two loop handles issuing from dragons' mouths at the neck. The main design consists of two five-clawed dragons chasing flaming pearls amidst cloud-scrolls.

Gifted by Sir William and Lady Constance Burrell to the City of Glasgow, 1944.
