Blue & White Porcelain Holy Water Bottle - Lotus

This beautiful reproduction porcelain Chinese vase is hand painted with lotus designs. It is hand turned on the potters wheel and painted by hand before firing all using traditional techniques. This small vase is perfectly suited for a single statement flower or dried flowers. 

This particular shape was commonly used as an offering vessel in holy shrines. Chinese versions often had the reigning emperor inscribed in characters along the top while Tibetan ones did not.

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made in Jingdezhen, the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644 (1368 - 1644 AD). Most potters have learned their craft from the elders of their family. These skills have been handed down through the generations. Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history.
