A Dragon Pursuing a Pearl
A wingless, serpentine dragon emerges from a bank of sculpted clouds and turns back toward an iridescent gem set into its belly. Its body spirals down the stem to the flared base. The cup features a sand-grain texture, while the clouds are rendered in smooth relief. 200 ml, in cream gold or bronze. Find it among our Viking chalices.
What Sets This Piece Apart
- Double wall: an outer shell of sculpted resin and a removable inner food-grade stainless steel cup. Your drink only touches metal.
- Two textures: granulated belly against polished clouds. The contrast carries the entire design, with no need for color.
- Dragon-body stem: the spiral of the body forms the base, creating an unusual, twisted silhouette.
- Iridescent gem: it changes hue depending on the angle, the only shiny point on the piece.
- Hand-applied patina: the recesses remain dark, while the edges catch the light. No two pieces are ever exactly identical.
Complete your table setting with our Viking tankards or a natural yak drinking horn.

Did you know?
This gem is not purely decorative: it is the flaming pearl, a constant attribute of the Far Eastern dragon. It is almost always depicted pursuing it or holding it under its claw. Interpretations vary—wisdom, prosperity, thunder, or the moon itself—but all portray it as the object the dragon desires but never quite possesses. A motif that has spanned two thousand years of Far Eastern art, from Han bronzes to the imperial robes of the Qing.

Dragon, skull or warrior: which design to choose?
| Design | What the cup shows | Who to give it to |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon this product | Body coiled around the stem, wings spread, set gem; from smooth low relief to full sculpture | The widest and most crowd-pleasing choice: fantasy fans, gamers, collectors |
| Skull and bones | Curled horns, membranous wings, stacked vertebrae, friezes of small skulls | For a dark decor you already embrace, and for autumn and Halloween tables |
| Warrior and helmet | Bearded face or nasal helm in high relief, crossed axes, knotwork at the foot | The most understated and most historical register: saga readers, fans of Viking series |
| Raven | Red-eyed bird perched on a skull, frieze of feathers and small bones | A targeted gift, for someone who recognizes Huginn and Muninn without being told their names |
| Goat and pentagram | Baphomet head inside a pentagram on a red background, frieze of skulls | An occult, non-Norse register, for those who embrace this imagery; 600 ml, a 500 ml bottle plus the head |
Is it a Viking object?
No. The dragon depicted comes from the Far Eastern tradition, not the Norse one: no wings, a serpentine body, a pearl. We list it among our chalices because of how it's built, and we say so openly.
What is the capacity?
About 200 ml, like all our chalices. Its tankard version goes up to 500 ml.
Do the two colorways differ in anything other than color?
No, same mold and same finish. The cream gold is lighter and highlights the relief of the clouds; the bronze darkens the whole piece.
Can you drink from it?
Yes. The inner liner is food-grade stainless steel and lifts out completely for washing.
