However, when you open the case, you are treated to these beautiful, colorful bud vases in blue, yellow and apple green. They were handmade in China by Middle Kingdom, circa late 1990s and were originally purchased from Neiman Marcus. Many Middle Kingdom pieces can now be found in museums shops throughout the world.
Each vase measures 6" tall and 3" in diameter. The opening of the vase is about 1" wide. The packaged box measures 11" wide, 8" deep, 4' tall.

About Middle Kingdom:
Middle Kingdom celebrates the traditions of Chinese porcelain and creates new objects both subtle and elegant. We work to sustain the potter's art and pay homage to artistic achievements of the past yet create a new classic standard. Each piece is made exclusively in our kiln in Jingdezhen, China, where the imperial kilns were once located. From original drawings our master potters hive form to the ideas of designer and company co-founder Bo Jia. At each stage in the creation of our wares, great attention is paid to both quality of workmanship and adherence to high aesthetic standards. As a result, we create new wares imbued with the luster of eternity. The handwritten Chinese inscription on the foot ring reads: "Middle Kingdom, Bo Jia Clan" in a six-character arrangement similar to a traditional reign mark.
