Koi Fish Ceramic Vase – 20 cm – “Carp Transforming into Dragon”

A Symbol of Strength, Prosperity, and Timeless Artistry

The Koi Fish Ceramic Vase – 20 cm captures the harmony between traditional craftsmanship and powerful symbolism. Inspired by the legendary Asian tale of the carp transforming into a dragon, this exquisite vase embodies perseverance, ambition, and the pursuit of success. Each curve and color reflects meticulous artistry, transforming fine porcelain into a vessel of elegance and spiritual energy.

With a compact 20 cm height, this piece balances aesthetic beauty and practical size — ideal for both modern interiors and traditional display spaces. Whether used as a flower vase or as a standalone decorative sculpture, it radiates sophistication, good fortune, and cultural depth.

Exquisite Ceramic Craftsmanship

Crafted from high-quality porcelain clay, the Koi Fish Vase is shaped, carved, and glazed by skilled ceramic artisans. The material is refined multiple times to achieve a dense, pure texture that allows for intricate sculpting and fine detailing.

After shaping, each piece is kiln-fired at 1,250°C, ensuring exceptional durability and a luminous surface. The result is a ceramic body that is smooth, dense, and long-lasting, resistant to cracking and fading over time.

The surface glaze is applied with precision to highlight the koi fish’s scales, the movement of the water, and the symbolic transformation into a dragon. Layers of color and glaze merge under high temperatures, producing a radiant depth and glossy finish that enhances every contour of the design.

Each vase undergoes careful inspection for balance, glaze uniformity, and detailing accuracy before leaving the kiln. The craftsmanship represents not only the beauty of Vietnamese ceramic tradition but also a standard of excellence worthy of international export.

Design Concept: “The Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate”

The Carp-to-Dragon motif is a powerful symbol in East Asian culture, representing determination and transformation. According to legend, when a koi fish swims upstream and leaps over the Dragon Gate, it becomes a mighty dragon — a metaphor for overcoming challenges and achieving greatness.

This myth is deeply embedded in feng shui philosophy, symbolizing career advancement, wealth, and perseverance. The vase’s design captures this movement in graceful relief: the koi fish, surrounded by stylized waves, ascends toward the heavens — a moment of triumph frozen in porcelain.

Every line and detail tells a story. The fish’s scales shimmer under the glaze, while the dynamic flow of the water evokes the energy of life itself. The elegant curvature of the vase complements the upward momentum of the design, making it not only a vessel but a visual narrative of success and growth.

Artistic Detailing and Glaze Finish

The Koi Fish Vase is available in a variety of glaze styles to suit different interiors and preferences:

Classic white porcelain for minimalist elegance and timeless appeal.
Celadon green glaze, symbolizing peace and prosperity.
Deep cobalt blue or gold-accented motifs, highlighting luxury and contrast.

Each finish is carefully controlled during firing to ensure color stability and depth. The glaze is lead- and cadmium-free, making it safe for home, office, and hospitality use. The smooth texture and glossy sheen enhance light reflection, giving the vase a radiant presence whether placed on a shelf, desk, or altar.

Functional and Decorative Versatility

Standing at 20 cm, this vase offers the perfect size for use as a tabletop centerpiece, altar ornament, or feng shui decorative accent. The wide mouth allows for fresh or dried flower arrangements, while its balanced base ensures stability on any surface.

In interior design, the Koi Fish Vase blends seamlessly with both modern minimalist and traditional Asian décor. Its symbolic imagery and refined craftsmanship make it suitable for homes, offices, hotels, spas, and showrooms — spaces where art, energy, and elegance coexist.

When used as part of a feng shui layout, the vase is often placed in living rooms, offices, or near entryways to attract wealth, luck, and career growth. The upward movement of the koi fish directs positive energy flow (chi), symbolizing momentum and personal advancement.

Material Excellence and Longevity

The porcelain used for the Koi Fish Vase is engineered for strength and purity, ensuring that each piece maintains its form and color even after years of use. Its non-porous structure resists moisture absorption, preventing internal cracks or fading glazes.

Cleaning is effortless — simply rinse with warm water and mild soap. Unlike lower-grade ceramics, this vase will not yellow or lose shine over time. Each piece passes through multiple quality checks for temperature resistance, glaze adhesion, and finish consistency, making it a durable investment for collectors and decorators alike.

Cultural and Feng Shui Significance

In feng shui, koi fish represent perseverance in the face of adversity, abundance, and enduring success. The carp’s transformation into a dragon is seen as the ultimate symbol of achievement — turning obstacles into opportunities.

Placing this vase in your space invites positive energy, encouraging prosperity and balance in both personal and professional life. It is particularly auspicious for entrepreneurs, executives, and students pursuing new milestones.

The combination of fine ceramic artistry and spiritual symbolism makes the Koi Fish Vase an ideal gift of success, suitable for business partners, clients, and loved ones. It conveys a wish for progress, honor, and good fortune — universal values appreciated across cultures.
