Famille Rose Turquoise Ground décor with Clouds & Bats, gilded PU'ER Disc Tea Caddy

In the history of ceramic development, Jingdezhen has become the epitome of renowned kilns worldwide, famous for its white porcelain, often described as "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and resonant as a chime." Its porcelain is of excellent quality, with lightweight shapes and diverse decorations.

Pastel, also known as soft colors, is a type of overglaze decoration that began to be perfected in the late Kangxi period and continued through the Yongzheng and Qianlong eras. Fook Ming Tong's creative team, in collaboration with long-time artists, has researched and produced a batch of high-quality antique-style Pastel porcelain tea sets. These tea sets are based on high-quality porcelain and are meticulously hand-painted by artists, making each piece unique.

The craftsmanship of this Puer tea disc box is exceptionally fine, with the seamless connection between the upper and lower parts being a testament to high skill. The design features a pattern of bats and clouds (bat and dragon clouds). In traditional Chinese decorative art, the image of a bat symbolizes happiness.
The custom plays on the homophony between the words "bat" (蝠) and "fortune" (福), associating the arrival of bats with the meaning of "bringing fortune," hoping that happiness will descend from the heavens like bats.

The combination of cloud and bat patterns is referred to as "Fu Yun," symbolizing "good fortune arriving at the door" and "good fortune coming from heaven." Turquoise green background color for celebrating longevity is especially suitable for gift-giving.
