A cookie mould of – a mushroom, a pomegranate and a fan.
You might find the combination a bit odd;
the mushroom is ganoderma, a type of wood fungi which is believed to give longevity, a saintly plant,
pomegrante, the whole fruit being just seeds is a symbol of fertility,
the fan is a symbol of a scholar, they are often hang on the wall to give a blessing for the family to have a scholar.
So in fact, the three items are a representation of the famous Fu Lu Shou,

A beautiful lacquer serving dish which I found the colour to be warm and x’mas like, the same feeling as scent of the tangerine peels, the taste of cinnamon, the sound of church bells …
The dish is decorated with peony flowers, peony is also know as the flower of riches and honour 富貴花. There is a story about peony and the mean Empress Wu Zetian, one snowy winter she summoned all the flowers to blossom for her morning wine party. The gardeners as well as the plants did their best, going against the natural order they all blossomed in fear of the Empress, all but the peony. The Empress was extremely upset and forbid peony to stayed in the capital Chang An, it was send to Luoyang. There in Luoyang, the peony blossoms filled the city. When the Empress heard about the news, she ordered for the peony to be burnt, but under the warm of the heat, it blossomed even more.
Click for more information about the special construction of the dish.

This paper cutout is a pair of candles on the wedding candle stand. On the candle stand is the word double happiness “喜喜”, the two of them giving the joy of quadruple happiness! Candles are a symbol of marriage, the word 花燭 Hua Zhu (flower candle) is synonymous with marriage. These red wedding candles will be placed in the living room as well as the bedroom of the couple. It is however interesting to know that the use of flower candles were initially for the bride’s family, to console the departure of their beloved daughter.

A bamboo basket constructed by large bamboo strips rather then the weaving method.
This gives the basket a much bolder and simplistic style.

A delicate stem of porcelain flower.
Continuing from yesterday’s theme, today we have another water plant, the daffodil, (shui xian) 水仙 which literally means the saint of the water. Behind the name is a love story; in the beginning of Chinese history the mythical Emperor Yao has 2 daughters, Princess E Huang and Nu Ying, they were both married to Emperor Shun. The three of them were much in love, when Emperor Shun passed away, the two sisters jumped into a river and committee suicide so the three could be together. The gods were moved by their love and made them into the saints of the water flower.
