Rising Phoenix Meiping Vase

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 on porcelain with a grayish-black, cobalt-based pigment that turns brilliant blue after firing. This contemporary vase captures the expressive nature of traditional blue-and-white porcelain with fluid botanical motifs and features a dynamic phoenix, the traditional symbol of peace and happiness, soaring in celestial splendor.
