Blue & White Porcelain Lotus Mouth Vase

This reproduction Chinese blue & white lotus mouth vase is decorated with an intricately painted lotus flower design. The rim of this vase is shaped in a lotus pod form with moulded petals. Two lion masks with mock rings sit on the body. It is a copy of a vase from the rule of the Yongzheng Emperor (13th December 1678 - 8th October 1735)

The lotus flower is well associated with royalty and literati. It symbolises the soul's power to emerge from the physical world to achieve enlightenment as the lotus rises undefiled from the muddy waters. 

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is handmade and handpainted in Jingdezhen which has been the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644 AD). It is handpainted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their family passed down through generations.
