Blue and White Porcelain Temple Jar and Lid. This porcelain Temple Jar is decorated with a Qilin. A Qilin (or Kirin in Japanese) is a mythical creature which usually appeared during the birth or death of an illustrious ruler or wise man. The jar is handmade on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then decorated by hand before firing. Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history. Even though pottery developed in China 15,000 years ago, most experts believe that true porcelain - which also originated in China - didn't emerge in the region until the Han Dynasty -202 BC to 220 AD. Blue and white porcelain is glazed using a transparent porcelain glaze dating back to the Tang Dynasty - 618 - 907.
