Chinese vases are an integral part of traditional flower arrangements. These vases are a type of calligraphic art that has been around for centuries and has unique symbolic meanings. Calligraphic art refers to the practice of creating designs by hand, predominantly with a brush and ink.

It appears that this Chinese calligraphy vase is from the Quing Dynasty, which was the final imperial dynasty in China, lasting from 1644 to 1912. 

This beautiful vase is a stunning piece of Chinese artistry. The vase is comprised of cracked ice porcelain that is beautifully designed under glaze. The Chinese characters and words were meaningful to the artist who transcribed them onto the vase in blue ink under glaze. Please note that this is not a poem vase.

The top of the vase under the lip is two hand-painted blue ink lines throughout the diameter of the vase. The bottom of the vase is one hand-painted blue ink line throughout the diameter of the vase.

The exact age of the vase is unknown; however, the characteristics of the vase indicate that this is an antique piece from the Chinese Quing Dynasty (1644-1912).

This piece is perfect for decorating purposes, to perhaps display on an altar, be used as a planter, or to display flowers in.

The approximate dimensions of the vase are as follows:

• Height: 8 in
• Middle Circumference: 5 1/2 in
• Circumference at widest point: 11 1/2 in
• Base diameter: 2 in     

This Chinese vase represents the historical and cultural significance of the Asian continent and is a must-have for any antique enthusiast.
