Dating back to the early 14th century blue and white pottery was one of China's biggest imports. This particular Chinese porcelain planter comes brilliantly decorated with painted blue Fu dogs on the robust white background. Fu dogs are Chinese guardian lions. They represent protection from negative energy. The mystique and craftsmanship illustrated is truly one of a kind. The rim of the porcelain planter is also hand painted with narrow brush strokes of a leaf patterns bordering the porcelain fishbowl. A unique feature of this Chinese porcelain planter are the powerful cobalt blue lion ring head handles. These lion heads represent good luck.
