Chinese Flower Pots: A Timeless Combination of Oriental Elegance and Delftware

Nowadays we see more and more creative ideas being applied to interiors, such as a living room or office space. A fascinating trend is emerging in the world of interior design and garden decoration: the fusion of Chinese flower pots with the iconic Delftware. This unique combination brings together the best of two rich ceramic traditions, providing inspiration for interior design for many interior designers.

Characteristic of Chinese porcelain is its delicate and transparent appearance, high-gloss finish and beautifully decorated patterns and motifs. Chinese artists created a wide range of designs and styles, including the famous blue and white decorations that would later have a major influence on the development of Delftware.

The Origin of Chinese Porcelain Vases

Chinese porcelain vases have a rich history dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). During the 15th century, under the reign of Emperor Yongle (1402-1424), the use of underglaze blue was further improved. Chinese artistocrats were increasingly preferred to provide their Chinese temples with Chinese porcelain vases. The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was a very legendary period in history. Chinese porcelain production flourished during this Ming dynasty and this period provided the basis for the further developments and refined techniques of 18th century Chinese porcelain from the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

However, it was during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) that Chinese porcelain achieved its distinctive characteristics and artistic refinement. This period is often considered the golden age of Chinese porcelain, with production and trade forming a crucial part of the economy.
