Burnt Orange Porcelain Fengweizen Vase – Dragons

This reproduction Chinese porcelain Fengweizen vase is decorated in iron red glaze, sometimes called coral red. This orange glaze vase features two dragons flying through clouds. Dragons are auspicious in China, granting good luck to those who are worthy enough. They have power over the water, rain, hurricanes, and floods. The five claw dragon has been a symbol of Chinese imperial might since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

Iron red glaze was a development from sancai porcelain of the Ming period and came to prominence in the early Qing dynasty. This beautiful vase is hand made on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then painted by hand before firing. Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history.
