Antique Chinese 19C Bleu de Hue Dish Vietnamese Marital Bliss Dragon Phoenix
Description
A top quality blue and white porcelain dish, decorated with dragon and fenghuang. Marked base. China, 19th century. There is a carved owners mark in the centre.
Dragon and Phoenix (Long Feng)
The dragon is the symbol of the emperor and represents fertility, while the phoenix embodies the warmth of the sun and helps produce male offspring. The dragon, together with the phoenix which is also the leader of all winged creatures, symbolizes the emperor and the empress, as well as representing marital bliss. When the two animals face each other, they convey the message of a happy reunion and good omen.
Bleu de Hue
Chinese blue and white export porcelain for the Vietnamese market. The best "Bleu de Hue" was ordered by the Vietnamese court by way of diplomatic missions to China. Most of them were produced in Jingdezhen with special designs and marks. Hue is the name of the old city where the Vietnamese King resided at the time. The designs are special, characteristic and have a slight character of being Japanese instead. Some have poem on them. One common two character mark reads
Nei Fu
, and can be translated as "Inner Court". Blue de Hue wares were made in China for the Vietnamese dynasties in the 18th and 19th century until after the revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Depending on the situation it can take up to 1.5 month. Rare cases of even 2 months have been seen to CHINA (and rest of ASIA), this has to do with slow customs procedures.
