Description

Ceramic vase Chinese tall red ceramic with duplicated Chinese character 喜. This tall decorative vase has a height of 49 cm and a diameter of 25 cm. It is made up of two parts: the central body and a ceramic lid.

It is decorated with red borders with a white background and the inscription of the character Xi 喜 stands out in duplicate. This character means jubilation, joy and desire for happiness. In traditional Chinese culture, the duplication of characters is very common to emphasize good omens. In particular, the character of ‘double happiness’ is widely used in daily life as well as in wedding ceremonies to wish the happiness of the newlyweds. Also during the Chinese New Year celebrations it is common to see it hanging on the doors of houses as a welcome to a new year of happiness and good news. As a curiosity, several brands use this Chinese character as it has a very positive connotation to develop their marketing strategy.

– HISTORIC NOTE –

China has been for many centuries a benchmark in the manufacture of vases and articles made of ceramics. Porcelain vases, which were appreciated in high European royal spheres as a symbol of status and power, became especially famous.

Ceramics are known worldwide, although the details of the manufacture and especially the distinction between different qualities of ceramics remain quite unknown to the public. In general, two large groups can be distinguished: low-temperature firing ceramics and high-temperature firing ceramics. Porcelain is the example of high temperature firing that begins to cook from 1000 degrees. On the other hand, ceramics composed basically of clay are fired from 400 degrees and do not have the hardness that porcelain can have. For this reason, low-temperature ceramics have had a basically ornamental use.

This decorative ceramic vase was made with the desire to attract the good omens of happiness and joy to your home. Our Chinese vases are pieces specially selected to be part of timeless spaces and combine perfectly with one of our sideboards and antique cabinets .
