About the Item

This magnificent large stoneware vase from China dates back to the Qing Dynasty, specifically the 19th century. It showcases exquisite craftsmanship and artistic expression. The vase stands tall, measuring 40x36 cm, and features a remarkable combination of elements. The surface of the vase is adorned with intricately raised dragons, a symbol of great significance in Chinese culture. These dragons, with their powerful and majestic presence, represent strength, good fortune, and prosperity. Their meticulously crafted details bring life and dynamism to the piece. Additionally, the vase is adorned with various symbolic motifs that further enhance its visual appeal. These symbols may carry cultural or spiritual meanings, adding depth and storytelling to the artwork. The careful selection and placement of these symbols demonstrate the artist's deep understanding of Chinese artistic traditions. To add a touch of elegance and sophistication, the top of the vase is adorned with a Greek key pattern. This classical motif, characterized by its continuous and interlocking lines, provides a harmonious contrast to the Chinese dragon motifs. It serves as a visual frame, accentuating the overall beauty of the vase. This vase represents the rich cultural heritage of China and the remarkable craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty.

A true treasure, this stoneware vase is a remarkable addition to any collection or a statement piece in any space. The Qing Dynasty, also known as the Manchu Dynasty, was the last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. It was founded by the ethnic Manchu people who originated from Northeast China. The dynasty was established when the Manchu forces overthrew the preceding Ming Dynasty. Today, the Qing Dynasty is recognized as a significant period in Chinese history, known for its political, social, and cultural transformations. Its legacy can be seen in the preserved imperial architecture, artifacts, and the profound impact it left on Chinese traditions and identity.
