This foot long Chinese Porcelain Pillow was used by the folks during the ancient times. This Blue & White design with Dragon motifs was believed to be used by the wealthy or notable class folks.
Blue and White designed porcelain wares were popular since the Ming Dynasty's era. This pillow was believed to be manufactured during the Ching Dynasty.
How to sleep on it? So hard! And cold and afraid my head will break it.
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many old porcelain pillows in the various China's museums. So I took this piece and tried sleeping on it like a dead corpse. I could not turn side ways as my shoulders are too broad. So I guessed the previous owner was short while I am a 6 footer.
ReplyDeleteMost porcelain pillows are rectangles in old China but this one has a Dragon & Phoenix dancing in the skies. It could be for newly married couple!
What? You really tried to sleep on it? Must be very uncomfortable. I am sure you could not fall asleep, right? If for newly married couple, should be red in colour but then you explained about the blue colour in your earlier reply.
