Abstract: Variation trend of Chinese ceramic vases was analyzed and suggestions for their further development were put forward. Because of the need of Buddhism, the pursuit of literati and the superb Chinese ceramic skills, brilliant achievement has been made in the development of Chinese ceramic vases. However, due to the deliberate pursuit of color, pattern and shape, Chinese ceramic vases have been deviated from the original function of utilization, gradually evolved from daily life porcelains to art appreciation ones and eventually developed to the extreme state, thus becoming a display appreciation product. Nowadays, the Chinese ceramic vases cannot meet the needs of modern flower arrangement arts and modern urban life. It is necessary to reform the modern ceramic vases, so as to make them return to their actual functions and finally promote the development of Chinese ceramic vases.
