A Chinese two-colour cinnabar lacquer 'sanduo' circular box and cover, 18th century, finely carved to the central reserve with the 'Three Abundances', sanduo, peaches, pomegranates, and finger citron, decorated with the same fruit to the border and base, black lacquered interior, 18cm diameter Provenance: Private London collection Notes: The Buddha's Hand Citron, peach and pomegranate together form the Three Abundances (sanduo), symbols of blessing, long life and many sons. The Chinese for Buddha's Hand Citron (foshou) is the homophone for 'blessing' (fu) and 'longevity' (shou) together. The peach has long been associated with Shoulao, the God of Longevity. The idea conveyed in the sanduo design is a blessing of long life and prosperity with many generations of descendants to follow. Vases of this type were offered to the emperor and convey a wish of happiness for the emperor who is to enjoy a long reign and remain forever youthful.Please refer to department for condition report
