Blue & White Porcelain Double Gourd Jar - Fish Design
Blue and White Porcelain Double Gourd Jar. This porcelain Jar is decorated with lotus leaves and fish. These lovely jars are made in small batches by hand. Most potters have learned their craft from the elders of their family. These skills have been handed down through the generations. 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).
The fish is a longstanding symbol of wealth in China as the Chinese symbol for fish 'yu' can also be translated to 'abundance'. In ancient China, a fish in water symbolised marital harmony.
