Age: 200 years material: ceramic origin: china, hunan – historical note – china has been a reference in the manufacture of vases and ceramic articles for many centuries. Porcelain vases became particularly famous and were appreciated in the upper echelons of european royalty as a symbol of status and power. The ceramics themselves are known worldwide, although the details of their manufacture and, above all, the distinction between the different qualities of ceramics remain relatively unknown to the public. Generally, two main groups are distinguished: low-temperature fired ceramics and high-temperature fired ceramics. Porcelain is the example of high-temperature firing, which begins to cook at 1000 degrees. On the other hand, ceramics, mainly made of clay, are fired at 400 degrees and lack the hardness that porcelain can have. For this reason, low-temperature ceramics were used primarily for ornamental purposes. This decorative vase was created with the desire to attract good omens of happiness and joy into your home.
