We are excited to announce that on Sunday 26th September the 2.8m Avatree LED White Blossom Trees featured on X Factor.

BELLE'S WHITE MAGIC

In May, Eastern Red Door Imports teamed up with the renowned Belle magazine to help support the annual Chandon Supper Club charity event. A range of Avatrees were supplied for the night, transforming the setting into an unforgettable winter wonderland.

“A glamorous evening of fine food and wine in a spectacular setting in Sydney was a treat for the lucky guests, as well as providing an opportunity to support a very worthy cause”.
Tanya Buchanan, Belle magazine.

DRAGON & PHEONIX CARVED CYLINDER & DISPLAY URNS

The dragon and the phoenix are the most important creatures in Chinese mythology and are surrounded by a wealth of legend and folklore. The Chinese dragon is a good-natured and benign creature in contrast to its Western counterpart. As a magical animal it is capable of shrinking to the size of a silkworm or swelling until it fills the space between heaven and earth.

The first appearance of the phoenix, which was later to become a commonplace symbol of peace and prosperity, can be dated back to 2600 B.C. Legend has it that this beast remains hidden and only appears when reason prevails. Thus, the phoenix is the glorification of a peaceful reign and a successful ruler.

Historically it was the right of the Chinese Emperor to bear the dragon, while the phoenix was the main decorative motive in the costumes of the Empresses of China.

Today, Chinese consider the dragon and phoenix symbolic of blissful relations between husband and wife, a common yin and yang metaphor. The symbols are often found in the decorations of wedding celebrations.

NEW ANTIQUE MING RANGE

Drawing inspiration from the traditional porcelain artworks of the Chinese Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a small but dedicated number of talented Chinese ceramists and artists specialise in the recreation of ancient porcelain pieces. Each piece alone will take the artist between 25-30hrs to hand paint the intricate floral imagery.

NEW CRYSTALLINE PIECES

New to our extensive crystalline range are several pieces that have already proven popular since they arrived only a few days ago.

One of the most exciting shapes are the Double Bulb Crystalline Vases, which stand from 105cm to 125cm tall. Their feminine shape allows for them to not only be a stunning focal piece, but also an eye catching water feature for the garden, deck or patio.

We have also added to the collection a wide low bowl that has been thrown to a fine and elegant shape. A perfect stand alone piece to placed in the middle of a table setting or to compliment a larger crystalline vase.

PIECES OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFIGANCE

Few Westerners would have heard of "Along the River During Qing Ming Festival". But as the name of one of China’s most significant artworks, the 12th century scroll painting is considered one of its greatest, and is often found in many Chinese homes as a replica scroll or more commonly, as part of a ceramic display piece.

Its wide spread appeal lies in its artistic detail, and as a snap shot of traditional living in 12th century China. The painting captures the commotion and holiday spirit of the Qing Ming Festival, revealing a city swept up in bustling activity, excitement, drama and the everyday life. And if you look closely you will see there are thousands of stories to be found: paupers begging monks for money, farmers selling their stock and a great commotion on the bridge as a ship approaches too quickly without its mast lowered.

What is particularly important about this painting is that every social class is represented in the city and along the banks of the river and how, in turn these people interacted. You will see merchants, carpenters, monks, paupers, farmers, doctors, jugglers, teachers, sailors and many more characters. In total, the scroll features 814 people, 94 animals, 28 ships and 30 buildings.

Along the River During Qing Ming Festival has also played a crucial role in showing the modern world the innovative minds of the Chinese, and just how technologically advanced they were in comparison to the Western world. Within in the scroll are numerous examples of technology that wasn’t created in Western parts for over 200 years! The scroll also allows the Chinese an opportunity to reflect on their history, with detailed examples of boats, buildings, clothing and uniforms and the famous Rainbow Bridge which all provide invaluable information on China’s great history.

At Eastern Red Door Imports, our collection includes hand made porcelain planters, birdbaths and display columns all featuring the famous scroll.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS FEATURE

Look out for this month's issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine as our traditional Ming planter is featured on the cover. The Better Homes and Gardens team chose our porcelain Ming planter as the focal point for their cover story on a fuss-free approach to creating water gardens.

In addition to our traditional Ming planters, our collection also includes other porcelain pieces that would create a wonderful water garden. Such as, the crystalline ponds, hand painted blossom planters, traditional scroll planters and the medallion planter range.
