The Chinese Export porcelain altar … more Chinese Porcelain Altar Fruit Box in the form of a Buddha's Hand citron,
19th Century
The Chinese Export porcelain altar fruit is solid porcelain shaped in the form of a yellow Buddha's Hand citron. It is naturalistically colored in greens and reds.
Dimensions: 3 1/4 inches high x 7 inches wide x 3 3/4 inches.
In China the Buddha's Hand citron symbolizes happiness and long life, because its name, “fo-shou”, has those meanings when written with other characters. Chinese like to carry the fruit in their hands, place it on tables in their homes, and present it as a sacrificial offering at temple altars.
