Dimension Size: H39cm x 21cm x 4.5cm Details Depicted in varying degrees of sculpted relief, nine ornamental fan-tail goldfish play in the shade of peony blossoms, the water ripple d by a gentle spring breeze and inscribed with Fugui youyu ____, or An abundance of riches. ÔNine fishÕ is a homonym for Ôeverlasting abundanceÕ, whilst peonies represent good fortune. Together with the waterÕs undulating surface, the lively composition conveys a sense of contentment. Included is a 2cm x 8cm engraving plate for personalisation. About the collection The exoticism and lofty symbolism of oriental style, legacy of a millennia-old continuous civilisation, provides an opulent counterpoint to the restraint of contemporary aesthetics.
