"Peachy Pair" Handpainted Seal Box by Deng Ying

Deng Ying is a Beijing based artist who created an accessible series of paintings on porcelain objects for Pagoda Red that includes this petite porcelain box painted with a pair of peaches, traditional Chinese symbols of Spring, justice and Daoist immortality. The pair emphasizes togetherness. The artist worked on the series at the Chinese imperial kilns in Jingdezhen with the hope that these playful and symbolic objects would touch many. A small container in this shape would have traditionally been used to contain ink for an artists seal stamp. Today, it is just right for jewelry or keepsakes. The box is signed and presented in a hand-made cushioned wood presentation box.
