Tibetan Bronze Patina Dragon-Ear Dragon & Phoenix Vases (Pair, 11")

This pair of Tibetan temple-style bronze vases carries the powerful, complementary symbolism of dragon and phoenix—traditionally associated with balance, harmony, and auspicious fortune. Each 11-inch vessel is cast with “dragon ears” (handles) and decorated in high relief with intertwined dragon and phoenix motifs across a richly aged patina surface.

The old bronze has developed a deep, varied tone over time, softening the edges of the design and giving the pair a quietly commanding presence. Used as altar ornaments or important household objects, vases like these were believed to “gather fortune” and stabilize the energy of a space.

Display them flanking a Buddha statue, on either side of a console, or as bookends on a large shelf. Together, they add both sculptural weight and a clear sense of temple-inspired ritual to your home.

• Do not use metal polish or harsh chemicals, as they may remove or alter the aged patina.
• If necessary, lightly dampen a cloth with water, wipe carefully, and dry immediately.
