The gourd appears across Chinese decorative arts in many materials. The British Museum describes its use in literature as a metaphor for a separate, ideal world or retreat.
In this collection, its generous curves become a place to hold a personal wish: for a new home, a fresh beginning, or someone you care about. This is our interpretation of the form.
Let the gift carry a specific thought. A handwritten note about why you chose it can mean more than a promise of good fortune.
