Where does this vase come from? What time?

The origin of the vase seems to be impossible to confirm, but I believe that in the Stone Age and the Pottery Age, when the evolving human beings knew something about plants and began to use utensils, they had the prototype of the vase. When humans discovered the edible, medicinal or ornamental functions of plants and flowers, they naturally used utensils to hold and raise them. Guangzhou Antique Collection once exhibited the development history of a vase. Vases, statues, vases and other flower arranging utensils were originally practical utensils used by the ancients to hold water and wine. For example, the shape of "bottle" originated from the pot of bronze ware; "Zun", known as Zun Yi in bronze inscriptions, was used in porcelain in the late Northern Song Dynasty. "Song" was a drinking vessel in Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

The oldest vase on display this time is a 6,000-year-old Neolithic rope-patterned gray pottery with a pointed bottom, and an extremely precious Han dynasty blue glaze double-paved pottery jar, which is the ancestor of official kiln bottles in China. There are "Pavilion City" seal characters on the two shop heads of this pottery jar. Apart from one from the National Palace Museum, this is the first one in Chinese mainland.

In addition to the practicality of flower arrangement, vases are products with strong artistry, beautiful shape, smooth lines, unique style and small production, which usually have high appreciation and collection value.

The extended meaning of modern vases;

From the outside:

The vase is characterized by beautiful appearance and smooth feel. The common traditional vase has a slightly larger mouth and a thin neck diameter, and then it is a very full and attractive arc, and finally it closes off and is full of S-shape.

In this way, no matter from the graceful appearance, gorgeous surface patterns or smooth touch, it looks like a very beautiful woman-the devil's figure, provocative posture, beautiful face, smooth and delicate skin.

As far as connotation is concerned:

This vase has no practical value. It stands in one place and will break with a bang if you are not careful. Just like a beautiful woman without brain and ability, there is no connotation.
