🕊️ The hidden symbolism behind the decoration.

In Japonism the crane symbolized longevity, good fortune and fidelity, while bamboo represented strength, resilience and endurance.
Together, these motifs expressed a wish for a long and fortunate life.

Around 1900, European artists and ceramic makers transformed these Japanese-inspired symbols into Art Nouveau designs.

On this monumental Eichwald-attributed vase, cranes and bamboo become part of a striking Bohemian interpretation of Japonisme.

A beautiful object — but also a piece of decorative-art history.

A remarkable 57 cm Chinese porcelain 三百件瓶 (Sanbai jian ping), traditionally known as a “300-piece vase”, dating to the Chinese Republic Period, c.1920s.

Painted in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, this monumental famille rose vase combines peonies and chrysanthemums with hand-written Chinese poetry and flowing semi-cursive Chinese calligraphy.

The four-line poem celebrates floral beauty, feminine elegance, nature and the seasons.

The inscription includes 永凤款 (Yongfeng) and refers to ex*****on in Jiangxi. The exact year is not sufficiently legible, so it is conservatively dated to the 1920s.

A distinctive collector’s piece for enthusiasts of Chinese Republic-period porcelain, Jingdezhen ceramics, famille rose, Chinese calligraphy and large antique Chinese vases.
