A long green-glazed ceramic dragon crouches on four feet, its raised scales following the curve of its body into a looped tail. Dark ridges run along its back, and the open mouth, projecting horns, and curling facial details give the head an animated expression. A framed tiger artwork shows the striped animal descending a rocky slope, its head turned upward and mouth open beneath overhanging branches. Metallic silver-tone relief accents pick out details against the blue background. It is presented within a burgundy mat and gold-tone frame. The Chinese print depicts an elderly man carrying an oversized carp beside a boy with a fishing rod. The carp carries an auspicious wish for abundance: the Chinese word for fish echoes the word for surplus, a meaning reinforced by the inscription wishing abundance year after year. Calligraphy and red seals accompany the figures on a warm tan ground. The print is shrink-wrapped on a matted board and measures approximately 15.5" x 21" overall. A ceramic beer stein completes the four-piece offering, with a Japanese scenic design and hinged metal lid.
