China Furniture And Arts Contemporary Porcelain Decorative Accents

A bountiful gourd garden with sprawling vines and butterflies weave across the body of this exquisite Canton temple vase. In ancient China, gourds were often used as vessels for medicine and water. Consequently, gourds became the auspicious symbols for blessing, longevity, and divine protection that still play an essential role in contemporary Chinese art, literature, and design.
The use of a vibrant pastel color combination takes inspiration from temple vases that originated during the Qing Dynasty. It was during this era that potters and artists began using a much more expansive color palette to decorate their wares. Each element, rendered with exceptional detail in vibrant pastel colors, stands out against an off-white glaze. A band of contrasting yellow and purple, equally intricate in design, draping across the vase's neck, completes the overall look.
The vase's spherical body tapers gracefully at the neck, creating an elegant silhouette. This is a magnificent work of art that will serve as the focal point for any space. Display it on a console table or niche where it is sure to be admired for its beauty. Stand sold separately. This item will be shipped from Westmont, IL 60559 U.S.A
