Over the years I have handled many Chinese Lunar Series pieces, but these are among the nicest I have ever seen. ---1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000---People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.
