This reproduction Chinese blue & white double gourd shaped vase is called a huluping vase in China. It has a beautifully intricate gourd and bat design. It is hand painted by skilled artists using traditional techniques learnt from their family passed down through generations.

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made in Jingdezhen which has been the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 – 1644 AD).

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 -202 BC to 220 AD. Blue and white porcelain is glazed using a transparent porcelain glaze dating back to the Tang Dynasty – 618 – 907.
