The entwined branch pattern is one of the most important and distinctive decorative patterns in traditional blue and white porcelain in China. The reason why the entwined branch pattern has strong vitality lies in its diverse and graceful variations. Common forms include "entwined lotus", "entwined chrysanthemum", "entwined peony", "entwined grape", "entwined pomegranate", "entwined lily", "entwined treasure flower", as well as "entwined patterns of people, birds and animals" and so on.
