    Blue & White Porcelain Yuhuchunping Vase - Wave Dragons

    SKU:C2149

    £625

    This reproduction Chinese porcelain yuhuchunping vase is skillfully decorated in inverted blue & white glaze. The painting depicts five claw white dragons on a background of waves. Although the dragon was claimed as the symbol of the emperor during the Han dynasty (206 BC - 22 AD) it wasn't until the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) that the five claw dragon became the specific symbol of imperial might. It was then that the use of the five claw dragon outside of the imperial court became treasonous

     

    The name "Yuhuchunping" means literally "Pear shaped Vase" and is a style originating in the Tang dynasty (608 - 917) for use as a wine vessel. Later the shape was refined and became a classic vase style also known as a "Trumpet Mouth Vase." The rim is slightly flared with a straight neck that broadens at the ends and a bottom heavy body.



    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.
