A modern artisan from China’s Zhejiang region made this ceramic basin, but the blue and white style is centuries older and reflects classic Ming Dynasty designs. The whimsical fish swimming among delicately painted cobalt blue plants and fronds is hand-painted in copper which becomes red after firing. The paintings have a symbolic meaning in Chinese art: may you be as harmonious as a fish swimming in water.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
