Hongwu Blue & White Porcelain Yuhuchunping Vase - Trailing Peony

This reproduction Chinese porcelain vase is hand made on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then decorated by hand before firing. This darker cobalt shade of blue is often called Hongwu blue, characterised by the cobalt blue pigment containing purplish hues. 

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.

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is handmade and hand painted 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).
