Antique ceramic pieces are admired worldwide for their beauty, rarity, 
and attached emotion that can be passed down to future generations.
Richard Peter’s collection draws upon the Founder’s heritage and 
passion for the Chinese work of art.  Inspired by family heirlooms and 
a love of ancient antiques from China, they have been dealing with 
Chinese Antique vases and porcelain for three long decades. 
Over the centuries Chinese ceramics have been crafted in a wide 
variant of shapes. Some shapes and curves on the ceramics were 
inspired by the bronze casting or jade carvings from the Ming period. 
Throughout the history, the shape, the quality, the craving, colour, and 
the imperial mark have been evolved. 
Pear-Shaped Chinese Antique vase
A pear-shaped vase is characterized by a slightly flared rim, a 
straight elongated neck with a broadening base, a voluptuous 
round bottom, and a thin foot ring.  These majestic-shaped 
Chinese antique vases were first used to hold water at temples 
during the Tang dynasty. The shape was popularized and also 
used as wine vessels during the Song dynasty. Usually, a solid 
base colour is used to enhance the royalty of this shape.

A Double Gourd Vases
During the Southern Song dynasty, the shape of the double 
gourd was derived from the gourd plant itself.  Gourds were 
considered to be a fertility symbol and have healing properties. 
At that time, most of the double gourd vases represented 
Daoism emblem of immortality. Double gourd Wucai vases are 
one of the top-selling products of Richard Peter Collections.

A Chinese blue and white moon flask
Moon flasks were first crafted and made its entry into real-life 
usage during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The shape was 
inspired by Middle Eastern vessels of silver and gold. With a 
rectangular foot rim as the pedestal, it features a circular flattened 
body, a narrow cylindrical neck, a flat base, two arched handles on 
both sides. Porcelain flask of baoyueping form is generally painted 
with a stylized bunch of lotus flower heads and foliage.

A Double Phoenix Vase
Double phoenix vases were mainly used in the Yuan Dynasty. The 
classic and elegant shaped Chinese vases are usually adorned with 
Chinese traditional artistic concept symbolizing meaning stories.  In 
Richard Peter’s double phoenix vase collection, a beautiful white 
piece is there that is decorated with a wide band of two Phoenix of 
Buddhist lions and waves amongst ruyi-form clouds,  and the neck 
was painted with a dense design of peony scroll.
