Ceramic Vase "Shuoguoleilei"
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was presented with the gift--ceramic vase "Shuoguoleilei"--by a delegation of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations on a visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on May 6, 2014.
"Shuoguoleilei" means fruit hanging in clusters. The vase is said to have been made with the Jingtailan ceramic technique of Beijing.
It is said that the Jingtailan porcelain made with the combination of some amount of metals was used only by kings and nobles in China down through generations.
Seen on the facade of the vase are clusters of grapes, vines and leaves and on its pedestal are the Chinese letters "Shuoguoleilei".
On the back of the vase is a poem to the effect that new changes are made every day in the DPRK with shining sun and moon.
