Revered for centuries for its elegant designs of rich cobalt blue and pure white, traditional Chinese blue-and-white porcelain lives on in this covered jar hand-painted with fish and flora of the sea, traditional symbols of prosperity and harmony. The underwater imagery of this jar was hand-painted with vibrant copper and indigo pigments prior to firing, a process of underglazing developed during the Song Dynasty. Traditional Chinese homes often feature large, striking ceramics such as this as both decoration and talismans of good fortune.
