Late 19th Century Chinese Ceramic Altar Fruit Papaya Form Box

Description

A Chinese ceramic papaya form box, 6.5"W x 4"D x 3.5"H; great for small jewelry, and other keepsakes. Ceramic altar fruit are replicas of the actual fruit offerings placed on the altar by practitioners of Taoism. A grouping of three fruits (with pomegranates and peaches and buddha hands (citron)) known as the "Three Plenties" brings good fortune. The pomegranate, with its many seeds, symbolizes progeny; the peach longevity; and the citron the blessings that bring happiness - whether spiritual blessings or material blessings like cash. ** Free shipping **
