These beautiful temple jars are hand made and hand painted in small workshops in Jingdezhen which is still the centre for the best quality porcelain. During the Ming dynasty, the Emperor set up his famous imperial kilns. This design is inspired by an important 14th century, Yuan style jar found in The Museum of Oriental Ceramics in Osaka, Japan. It is hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their families and passed down through generations. Two sizes are available depicting fish among aquatic plants.
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.
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).
