This unique vase is a masterpiece of symbolism and form, crafted to hold good wishes. This antique celadon vase, likely dating to the late 19th, is a beautiful example of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Its double-gourd shape is a classic symbol of prosperity, longevity, and abundance, while a large, raised character on its lower body—likely fu (福), meaning good fortune—doubles its power as a talisman. The luminous celadon glaze is a prized finish that brings an elegant, timeless beauty to the piece.
Originally, a vase of this quality would have been a cherished decorative object for a scholar’s desk. In a modern home, it can be a magnificent sculptural piece on a bookshelf or mantel, its form and rich symbolism adding a powerful layer of meaning and beauty to your space.
