A 1970s Traditional Blue And White Ceramic Chinese Vase

A blue and white ceramic vase hand-crafted and painted in China in the second part of 20th century, it's in original condition with normal signs of age. Blue and white ceramics have a long history in Chinese porcelain, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) and becoming more prominent during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. The combination of cobalt blue on a white background is a classic and enduring style in Chinese ceramics. These patterns are a common theme in Chinese ceramic art. Different flowers may symbolize various cultural or philosophical meanings. Blue and white porcelain is highly collectible, and pieces with traditional motifs attract collectors of Chinese art and ceramics.
