Chinese Imperial Famille Rose 'Lotus Pond' Yuhuchun Vase

Chinese Porcelain Yuhuchunping Vase

The Yuhuchunping vase (玉壶春瓶), also known as the pear-shaped vase, is one of the most iconic shapes in Chinese porcelain. It is characterized by its rounded body, long slender neck, and flared rim. Known for its graceful curves and harmonious proportions, this vase has captivated art lovers for centuries.

The yuhuchunping vase is thought to have originated in the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). It was initially used as a holy water vase in temples, but it later became popular as a wine vessel and decorative object. During the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD), the yuhuchunping vase became one of the most popular ceramic forms in China.

During the Ming (1368-1644 AD) and Qing (1644-1912 AD) Dynasties, the Yuhuchunping vase became a canvas for intricate decorations. Blue-and-white porcelain in the Ming era and vibrant famille rose colors in the Qing era added to its beauty. These vases often featured nature scenes, mythological themes, and auspicious symbols.

Whether for collection or display, the Yuhuchunping ('Jade Pot Spring') Vase is the perfect choice.
