Porcelain Dragon

A tradition in many Asian countries, this type of porcelain plate (and bowl and cup) creation can often be found at Chinese New Year celebrations. The dragon shown here and an equally impressive phoenix were part of a 2010 celebration in Singapore. LINK

The 2011 new year was celebrated in Jingdezhen City with a rabbit. LINK

And here is another dragon assembled at the Songjiacheng scenic spot in Yangzhou of east China's Jiangsu Province. LINK

It is very similar to a dragon created for the Chinese Lantern Festival in Toronto, Canada, back in 2006. LINK
