Chinese Porcelain Dragonfly on Lotus Vase

A magnificent hand-painted dragonfly on a lotus flower seed pod decorates this high-shouldered porcelain vase. Inspired by classic Song and Ming dynasty porcelain wares, the hand-thrown vase reflects the great Chinese tradition of ceramic making. It was made in the ancient southern Chinese city of Jingdezhen, site of the last Imperial kiln of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and associated with fine porcelain from the 10th century onward. The vase is signed by the artist and packed in a charming handmade muslin box with tab closure.
