Specifications

Craftsmanship

Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province has been a centre of porcelain making for centuries. Pieces are thrown or moulded from fine porcelain clay, trimmed by hand, glazed and fired at high temperature to a dense, white body.

How to Use

For display or flowers. If using with water, check that the inside is glazed and dry the vase after use; place on a stable surface away from the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
