Kangxi Orange Porcelain Temple Jar

This Chinese porcelain temple jar is also known as a rice jar. The orange glaze is a classic Kangxi design and here depicts bats among flowers. 

This pot is hand made on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then decorated 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)
