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 flowers and bats which are considered a symbol of luck in China. This is due to the word for bat (fu 蝠) and good fortune (fu 福 sounding identical. Red bats like these spread good fortune, spreading, longevity, wealth, good health & virtue. Bats are considered very self sufficient and a symbol of independence.

This beautiful vase is hand made on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then painted by hand before firing. Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history.
