Blue and White Vase |
|||
|
The vase one side is almost blank except drawing of cloud and the other side is painted with a fierce phoenix hovering over a dragon looking forward the phoenix which is deeply appreciated by Ci Xi Dowager of Ching Dynasty . The drawing showed the strong characteristic of the Tung Chih era (AD 1862-1875 )
|
|
It
is unique as in traditional China society , the phoenix
symbolizes female and the dragon symbolizes the emperor ,the female
could never be on top of the male, especially on top of the emperor
. This piece has been with me for more than 20 years.
Size : about 46 cm x 20cm More in progress.. |
