Those are some fine looking dragons. I was listening to the radio yesterday and the newscaster mentioned that a population increase was expected because of it being the Year of the Dragon.

January 22, 2012 at 8:19 PM

Wonderful.
Wish you Happy New Year.

January 23, 2012 at 2:36 AM

Happy New Year to you. My new daughter in law was telling me that every Chinese New Year the factory that she works at has the dragons come to perform. She says it is amazing. V

Happy New Year to you... What a lovely teaset and informative post ... dare I call you the " dragon lady " in a warm sort of way ... I too enjoy the Chinese zodiac and have a few dragon pieces myself... Isn't it fun to go beyond the motif on china and realize a bit of the cultural history... Your pictures had a very calming effect too... which I truly enjoyed ...Hugs

January 24, 2012 at 10:39 AM

What a perfect tea to celebrate the year of the dragon!

January 24, 2012 at 11:04 AM

Thank you for sharing the cultural background of the dragon. I was given a lovely teapot and cups from China many years ago from a Chinese friend. It has two dragons on it in the most beautiful colors. My boys loved using it when they were young...they thought it more boyish that the flowery ones. They (as all boys do I think) liked the thought of dragons and adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Charlotte

Greetings,

I love your beautiful dragon tea set! I did not know that the year of the dragon represented good fortune and success. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the Year of the Dragon and the Lunar New Year!

Happy Chinese New year to you as well.

I learned much about the Chinese dragon - had no idea. Sounds like it may be a very good year, indeed.

You have a beautiful china set, and that dragon is really neat!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, too, and for leaving a comment. I am new to blogging (just a little over 3 weeks now) so it especially means a lot to me to have visitors!

January 24, 2012 at 4:22 PM

Hi Snap.
How interesting and it is nice to see the dragon dishes. I like dragons on decoration as much as I am happy that they don't life here. LOL
Happy New Chinese year to you, too.
Best greetings, Johanna

Such interesting information on the year of the dragon. Lovely pictures. I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous year!

January 25, 2012 at 3:14 PM

I should have known you would have the inside track on dragons! I never realized that the dragon is the only non-animal figure. I love the idea that our collective fortunes have a better chance at being boosted this year - I think we all could use a little bit of that magic. And I learned yet another thing - that the Chinese dragon represents unification. Wow, could it really be so - an auspicious year ahead? I do hope so. Happy New Year to you too, my favourite Dragon Lady!

January 26, 2012 at 6:19 PM

Wonderful tablescape.

January 26, 2012 at 6:39 PM

What a beautiful tablescape. That dragon is so adorable too. Happy Year of the Dragon.
