Blue and White Crane Ginger Jar

First developed during the Tang dynasty, blue-and-white porcelain has been treasured for centuries. Renowned for its painterly decoration and the beautiful contrast of rich blue on white, this unique ceramic style begins with a design painted with a grayish-black, cobalt-based pigment that turns a brilliant blue upon firing. This contemporary vase captures the expressive nature of blue-and-white porcelain with a whimsical pattern of cranes soaring through delicate clouds, traditional Chinese symbols of longevity.
