Chinese tea house roof dragons and chimney pots

The special segmental roof dragons and chimney pots further down were produced for a customer working on a chinese tea house themed project for their garden. The customer submitted some plans and information describing the chinese teahouse

The architects plan features 4 roof dragons for each corner of the roof

- Ridges run down the hip part of the roof and the dragons are fitted in each corner to give a decorative finish
- The 2 other dragons are installed at the top of the roof at each hip end
- Some decorative chimney pots are needed in keeping with the chinese theme

Initially the customer was looking to have the dragons produced with a green glazed gloss ceramic effect to match some decorative external tiles but later opted for a terracotta colour to match their ridge tiles

The customer sent us a sample of their roof tile and we got to work with the colour matching on the dragons achieving a very close\near perfect match to their tile sample:

In addition to the dragons the customer also opted for some dragon chimney pots. The chimney pots were produced in slate grey to add a decorative finishing feature to be placed in situ of the Chinese themed teahouse. The customer is to use the chimney pots as decorative garden planters to give the teahouse a colourful natural feature:
