Chinese Porcelain is steeped in centuries of Chinese culture and history. Even though pottery developed in China 2000 years ago- most experts believe that true porcelain - which also originated in China - did not emerge in the region until the Han Dynasty - 202 BC to 220 AD. The currently popular blue and white porcelain is glazed using a transparent porcelain glaze dating back to the Tang Dynasty - 618 - 907. The Chrysanthemum signifies intellectual accomplishments, cleansing qualities and longevity of life. This flower attracts good luck in the home. It is good to give old people chrysanthemum flowers because they symbolize a strong life. Due to the individual nature of handmade porcelain, the size and colour may vary slightly from the images shown.
