"Qi Gong" Hand-Painted Container by Deng Ying

Created by Beijing-based artist Deng Ying exclusively for PAGODA RED, this limited edition hand-painted jar is one of a series playfully drawing on the Chinese tradition of blue-and-white porcelain. Fired at the historic Chinese imperial kilns of Jingdezhen, this petite jar is painted with three men engaged in qi gong exercises. A system of meditative movements and breathing exercises, qi gong is the practice of cultivating one's "qi," or life energy. This one-of-a-kind container is signed and presented in a hand-made cushioned wood presentation box.
