Blue & White Porcelain Jardinière - Fish Design

This reproduction Chinese porcelain jardinière is decorated with a delicate fish design and is ideally suited for a plant, perhaps an orchid, or a flowing crawler such as a devil's ivy. The fish is a longstanding symbol of wealth in China as the Chinese symbol for fish 'yu' can also be translated to 'abundance'. In ancient China, a fish in water symbolised marital harmony.

This design is inspired by an important 14th century, Yuan style fish and algae jar found in The Osaka Municipal Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Japan. Fish and algae patterns became important in the porcelain development of the Ming dynasty. 

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).
