#5113 Japanese Phoenix Bird Blue And White Sake Bottle Small Signed Plus Two Sake Cups

No chips or cracks 5 inch tall Blue and white porcelain originated in China during the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) and became highly refined during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The cobalt blue pigment used for the decoration was often imported from Persia, adding to the value of these pieces. The phoenix is a mythical bird that symbolizes rebirth and good fortune in Chinese culture. It is often depicted with elaborate plumage and is a popular motif in Chinese art. During the Meiji era (1868-1912) in Japan, there was a renewed interest in traditional arts and crafts, including porcelain production. Japanese artists often drew inspiration from Chinese designs, but also incorporated their own unique styles and techniques. This vase is a beautiful example of the fusion of Chinese and Japanese artistic traditions.
