Jingdezhen Ceramic Vases: How to Choose One as Living-Room Art
Intro
A vase used to be a forgettable flower holder. It Is No More. It’s A Sculptural Work, Now. And Jingdezhen ceramic vases with genuine craftsmanship are at the top of the list if you want the kind.
Here is a quick guide for you on what gives them the edge, how to tell a handmade product from a factory-made, and how best to use one in your decor.
What Sets a Jingdezhen Ceramic Vase Apart
Jingdezhen China has been making porcelain for a millennium, and serving the country’s imperial court for centuries. That history is evident in three things you can’t manufacture in a factory vase: richness of glaze, painstaking hand carving, and hard, dense, high-fire porcelain.
A Jingdezhen ceramic vase is denser than it appears, and cooler to the touch — the quiet result of clay fired hotter and longer than most kilns allow. It's a weight and finish you notice the moment you pick one up.
Handmade vs. Mass-Produced — What to Check
- The Relief – handmade pieces usually has subtle 3D texture and individual imperfection in its relief, in contrast to molded ones are usually flat and homogenous;
- The Glaze – try to select glazes that are reactive to light – be it a shimmering vermilion or a pearlescent white that changes color when moved, as even and dull glaze usually machine applied;
- The Weight and The Foot Ring – dense high-fired porcelain has a fine, white, and clean foot ring.
How to Style a Ceramic Vase as Art
The key is restraint. There's no need to overload this kind of vases with a bunch of flowers-a single branch or even an empty sculptural vase works wonders. Sit one on the entry console table, on the mantel or on a shelf where the vases will stand on their own as decorative objects, not as simply flower holders. A striking chinese red would look as good as a pearl-white or celadon.
Everything is carved and glazed by hand in Jingdezhen, then fired to over 1,300°C, to be truly unique, truly special.
Shop the Jingdezhen ceramic vase range- from daring vermillion to sophisticated velvet pearl-white, one of these will truly ground your space.
