Madam Porcelain – Pomegranate Home Mug (350ml)
Handcrafted reinforced porcelain mug from 2017 BRICS banquet, a unique Chinese gift symbolizing family happiness.
Gift Introduction
This porcelain mug was part of the official dinnerware used at the banquet for the spouses of the leaders of the BRICS nations during the 2017 BRICS Summit.
The "Pomegranate Home" design uses black and white as its basic palette, evoking the traditional Chinese scene of white walls and black tiles found in classic courtyard homes. The imagery features a blossoming pomegranate tree with vibrant red flowers seen through traditional Chinese lattice windows. The composition is lively and rich in artistic conception, expressing the timeless Chinese philosophy that "happiness grows between black and white."
The lid knob is shaped like a pomegranate, a symbol of good fortune and abundance in Chinese culture. The exterior is adorned with numerous pomegranate blossoms, which not only highlight the gentle and graceful qualities associated with femininity but also convey heartfelt wishes for wealth, good luck, family harmony, and peaceful well-being to the world.
Drawing on the classic aesthetic of white walls and black tiles from traditional Chinese courtyards, this mug brings to life the enduring idea that "happiness flourishes in the interplay of light and dark."
