Burnt Orange Porcelain Vase - Snow Lions
This reproduction Chinese porcelain vase is decorated in iron red glaze, sometimes called coral red. This style was a development from sancai porcelain of the Ming period and came to prominence in the early Qing dynasty. The orange glaze depicts playful snow lions. Snow lions were often depicted in Tibetan art and were often depicted in pairs illustrating the close friendship that China and Tibet shared over many centuries. Snow lions symbolised power, strength, fearlessness and joy.
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.
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)
