Chinese Porcelain Jar with Lid – Peach & Shou Symbol – 9 cm
Chinese Porcelain Jar with Lid – Peach & Shou Symbol – 9 cm
Small Chinese porcelain jar with lid, executed in a soft blue ground and richly decorated with peach branches in blossom.
The contour lines are tangibly in relief, giving the piece extra depth. On the front, the traditional Chinese character Shou (壽), symbolizing longevity and prosperity, is prominently displayed.
The combination of the symbol of good fortune and the peach – which represents immortality in Chinese culture – makes this a classic decorative object with meaning.
Its size is compact and refined, making it suitable as a decorative jar, small storage box, or as a decorative accent in an oriental setting.
