This reproduction Chinese porcelain rouleau 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 five claw dragons. 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 0 1644) that the five claw dragon became the specific symbol of imperial might. It was then that use of the five claw dragon outside of the imperial court became treasonous
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.
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 (202BC - 220AD)
