Red Fishtail Vase

China is home to the mighty Yangtze river; the longest in Asia, and one of the biggest rivers in the world. A third of China's population lives along its banks. It is a center for trade and commerce, and spills over the Three Gorges Dam, which is the largest hydroelectric plant in the world. In this way, it supports the lives of the Chinese, providing power to millions of people. It has connected China for centuries, as a passage for merchants and armies alike. Great dynasties rose and fell along the Yangtze, and it has help turn modern China into an industrial powerhouse. The Yangtze is also home to a wide variety of animal life--everything from alligators to dolphins call it home. In addition, the banks of the Yangtze are home to simple farmers and fishermen who rely in its life-giving properties to feed their Nation. This red fishtail vase portrays a fisherman along the Yangtze, casting off as geese fly overhead. Village buildings sit on hills in the distance, accompanied by a lone tree. It seems to be a peaceful scene from the past; there is no sign of the industrial center that the Yangtze will become. You will find yourself absorbed by this quiet scene, and stepping back for a moment to slow down and recharge. The Red Fishtail Vase is the perfect accent for your home or office decor, solidly constructed, but features graceful elegance that only a handmade piece can provide.
