This reproduction Chinese pear shaped (Yuhuchunping) vase is decorated with central pomegranates. Pomegranates represented fertility, abundance, healthy & numerous offspring, and a blessed future.

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.
