Description

This reproduction Chinese Hongwu blue & white reproduction porcelain meiping vase is beautifully hand painted with a bamboo & prunus tree design. Prunus (or plum blossom) is the symbol of resilience & perseverance, especially in the harsh winters. It's also the national flower of Taiwan. Bamboo symbolises loyalty, integrity, and honesty as even during storms, it bends without breaking. 


This darker cobalt shade of blue is often called Hongwu blue with originals made during Emperor Hongwu's reign (1368-1398). Hongwu porcelain is characterised by cobalt blue pigments with a slight purple hue due to manganese found in cobalt ore 

 

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made 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).
