Once a part of a lacquered presentation box that may have been filled with roasted melon seeds, dried fruit, and other spiced snacks, this piece has been modified into a lightweight, decorative bowl. Golden paintings top layer upon layer of hand-applied black lacquer, depicting an auspicious scene of a bouquet of lotus flowers, symbols of purity and perfection. Possibly a gift for newlyweds, the box is also adorned with ripe pomegranates, symbolizing abundance, and a trail of peonies, an emblem of love and affection.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
