Description
The Chinese Xianfeng period (1850-1861) overlaps with a time when Chinese and Japanese porcelain were highly valued in global markets..
Xianfeng Porcelain: Porcelain from this period is often more rustic due to the instability in China during the Second Opium War. However, pieces are still well-crafted, often featuring traditional Chinese motifs like dragons, nature, and fish.
Koi Fish Symbolism: In Chinese and Japanese cultures, koi fish symbolize perseverance, strength, and good fortune. They're a common motif in art and decorative objects.
