Each Traditional Patterned Vase Ornament consists of two core parts: a sturdy ceramic vase base (glazed in matte white or natural terracotta to highlight Xiabu’s texture) and a handwoven Xiabu cover that wraps around the vase body. The Xiabu cover is made from premium Wanzai ramie, processed via traditional steps: fresh ramie stalks are stripped, dew-bleached (using morning dew to ferment and degum without chemicals), hand-spun into fine yarns, and then woven on ancient wooden looms.
The covers feature classic Chinese traditional patterns – including "cloud scrolls" (symbolizing good fortune), "peony blossoms" (representing prosperity), and "interlocking lotus" (a sign of purity) – all woven by artisans trained in heritage techniques. Each pattern is rendered with precision: the thin ramie yarns create subtle texture contrasts, making the motifs vivid yet elegant. The vase sizes range from 15cm to 25cm in height, with the Xiabu cover tailored to fit perfectly, ensuring no loose edges or uneven wrapping. Every ornament is finished with a small hand-woven tassel (made from the same ramie yarn) at the vase neck, adding a touch of delicacy to the overall design.
Authentic Intangible Heritage Craftsmanship: Each Xiabu cover is woven by artisans overseen by National Intangible Heritage inheritors, with no machine substitution in pattern weaving – every stitch reflects the essence of traditional Xiabu technique.
Traditional Pattern Storytelling: The "cloud," "peony," and "lotus" patterns aren’t just decorative; they carry Chinese cultural symbolism, turning the ornament into a "cultural carrier" for global users to understand Chinese traditions.
Dual-Material Harmony: The combination of ceramic (stable, textured) and Xiabu (soft, breathable) creates a balanced visual and tactile experience, avoiding the coldness of pure ceramic or the flimsiness of single-textile decor.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: The ramie fiber is 100% natural and biodegradable, and the ceramic base uses lead-free glazes; the entire production process is chemical-free, meeting EU environmental and safety standards.
Unique Artisan Traits: Due to the hand-weaving process, each pattern’s yarn tension and tassel length have slight differences – no two ornaments are identical, ensuring exclusivity.
Home Decor Enhancement: Adds a touch of traditional Chinese elegance to living rooms, bedrooms, studies, or entryways – pairs well with both minimalist and bohemian interior styles.
Cultural Collection Item: As a tangible product of Xiabu Craftsmanship, it’s a valuable addition to collections of intangible cultural heritage artifacts or traditional Chinese decor.
Thoughtful Gift: Ideal for housewarmings, festivals (Christmas, Chinese New Year), or cultural exchange events – perfect for friends, family, or business partners who appreciate handcrafted art and cultural heritage.
Texture Contrast Highlight: In spaces with smooth surfaces (e.g., glass tables, marble countertops), the Xiabu cover’s texture adds depth, making the area more visually layered.
Temporary Vase Protection: The Xiabu cover acts as a buffer, preventing scratches when the ceramic vase is moved and reducing dust accumulation on the vase surface.
Cultural Uniqueness: Unlike mass-produced decorative vases, our product integrates Xiabu – a heritage textile with over 1,600 years of history – offering cultural value that ordinary decor lacks.
Superior Durability: The hand-spun ramie yarns are tough and resistant to fraying; the ceramic base is thick and anti-drop, ensuring the ornament can be used for 5-8 years with proper care.
Versatile Matching: The neutral color palette (ivory white, natural beige, and soft indigo from plant dyes) and classic patterns make it compatible with various home decor styles, no need to worry about style conflicts.
Low Maintenance: The Xiabu cover is removable and can be hand-washed with mild detergent; the ceramic base only needs a wipe with a damp cloth – easier to care for than fabric-covered decor with complex structures.
Transparent Craft Traceability: Each ornament comes with a certificate listing the artisan’s name, production date, and pattern meaning, allowing users to trace the craft’s origin and enhance trust.
Residential Spaces: Placed on living room bookshelves, bedroom dressers, or study desks to add cultural atmosphere to daily life.
Commercial Venues: Suitable for boutique hotels, cultural cafes, or museum gift shops – enhances the venue’s cultural positioning and attracts customers interested in handcrafted art.
Gifting Scenarios: Perfect for cultural exchange gifts (e.g., between international schools or sister cities), housewarming presents, or corporate gifts for clients who value cultural diversity.
Collection Displays: Ideal for collectors of traditional Chinese textiles, ceramic art, or intangible heritage artifacts – can be displayed in glass cabinets or on dedicated collection shelves.
Seasonal Decor: During festivals (e.g., Chinese New Year with peony patterns, summer with lotus patterns), it can be used as a thematic decor piece to enrich seasonal ambiance.
Q1: Is the Xiabu cover easy to remove and clean?
A1: Yes. The Xiabu cover is designed with a hidden snap closure, making it easy to remove. We recommend hand washing with cold water and mild detergent, then air-drying in a cool, ventilated place – avoid machine washing to protect the hand-woven pattern.
Q2: Can the ceramic vase be used to hold fresh flowers?
A2: Yes. The ceramic base is waterproof and can hold water, so you can place fresh flowers (e.g., small bouquets of lavender or chrysanthemums) inside. However, please ensure the water level does not exceed the Xiabu cover’s bottom edge to prevent the cover from getting wet for a long time.
Q3: Are there other pattern or color options available?
A3: Currently, we offer three classic patterns ("cloud scrolls," "peony blossoms," "interlocking lotus") and three color options (ivory white, natural beige, indigo). For bulk orders (minimum 30 pieces), we can customize patterns (e.g., traditional "dragon and phoenix") and colors using plant-based dyes – contact our customer service for details.
Q4: Is the product suitable for international shipping?
A4: Yes. We use shockproof packaging (bubble wrap + hard carton) to protect the ceramic vase during transportation. We ship to most countries/regions (e.g., US, UK, France, Japan) with a delivery time of 7-15 business days, and provide a tracking number for each order.
Q5: Does the product have a certificate of authenticity?
A5: Yes. Each ornament comes with a bilingual (Chinese-English) certificate of authenticity, which includes information about the "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique," the artisan’s background, and the pattern’s cultural meaning – verifying its status as a genuine intangible heritage product.
