Cobalt blue and white porcelain is closely associated with the Ming Dynasty. The Cultural Centre Museum's artifact is a medium sized blue and white porcelain vase. Blue and White Porcelain Vase resembles the distinctive blue colour and that comes from a chemical compound that creates a vibrant cobalt pigment. Blue-and-white porcelain was a highly demanded product exported from China starting around the 14th century. Cobalt blue and white porcelain became an iconic colour pairing, influencing other cultures such as Europe, the Middle East and Japan.
The Blue and White Porcelain Vase is decorated with stylistic floral patterns. With ornamental elements, the underglaze accentuates subtle gold outlines.
