Geisha (or Geiko in Kyoto dialect) are female professional
entertainers who perform traditional Japanese arts on banquets. With many of these plates having Geisha art on them, you may want to know a
bit about the geisha. The geisha is from Japan, but actually the word originates
in China. Geishas were entertainers and sang and danced professionally. In the
past they are shown in long flowing robes with hair pulled back and up in ornate
buns and wraps. A constant image in Oriental art, the liveliness and beauty of
the geisha girl, is more than likely what made her one of the most often used
subjects in Oriental art.
The vase symbolizes the cosmic waters, the Great mother, the feminine
receptive principle of acceptance, fertility and the heart. The vase is
often associated with the tree of Life. For the Chinese the vase
represents perpetual harmony. The vase holding waters of life is an
attribute of Kwan-yin as compassion and fertility. These vases are
approximately 6 inches tall and made of porcelain bisque. Hand
painted and only $5.99 each.
