Burnt Orange Porcelain Danping Vase - Phoenix & Quilin

This reproduction Chinese porcelain flower vase is decorated in iron red glaze, sometimes called coral red. This style was a development from sancai porcelain of the Ming period and came to prominence in the early Qing dynasty. The orange glaze depicts a Phoenix and Quilin in an outdoor setting. Qilin were creatures with parallels to unicorns and were said to herald the birth or death of a wise sage or great ruler. The phoenix is considered an omen of good luck.

This beautiful vase is handmade and hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learned from their family passed down through generations. 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).
