This is a classic vintage Asian Oriental hand painted porcelain ceramic vase, circa 1980s. It is full of traditional symbolic imagery and the quality is very fine.

The concept of auspicious elements attracting happiness and luck is found in many common Chinese symbols. The carp or Koi is an ancient symbol of good fortune that brings happiness and abundance. It is represented in the yin yang symbol that depicts two carps in a flowing tear drop shape. The two shown here are so striking, with their brilliant color and linear design elements. Please view the zoom photos to appreciate the fine details such as the large luminous eyes, and flowing body shapes with detailed scale patterns. The beautiful lotus flower is synonymous with harmony and peace. The circular, hand stamped background design simulates the water element so beautifully with its repeating design. What skill to apply this pattern correctly!
