Тhe Museum Collection of the Presidential Center of the Department of Presidential Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Decorative Vase

(from Diplomatic Gifts to the Head of State, on August 17, 2021, in Seoul).

A well-known saying about porcelain states that it should be as blue as the sky washed by rain, as resonant as a gong, transparent as glass, and thin as paper. Indeed, the finest examples of porcelain meet all these high standards.

Vase forms change in accordance with fashion and architectural style, but the fundamental concept remains the same: neck, base, bottom, and handles. Each era had its own perception of vases' beauty and its own practical purpose.

It is important to note that the type of painting, the themes, the kind of ornamentation, and even the forms of the objects themselves carried a decorative function and deep symbolic meaning.

The symbols on this vase convey good wishes to its owner, bringing strength, luck, and contributing to happiness and prosperity in life. They are painted with favourable themes of love, abundance, harmony and health.
