Pair antique 19th c. Chinese porcelain brown glazed temple fruit pyramids. The fruit pyramids are made up of small apricots and coated in a brown aubergine glaze stopping above the white bisque foot. Each peach is molded individually and stacked in a traditional pyramid.
Kangxi fruit stacks were used as fruit offerings in a home or temple altar, and also in tombs. Worshipers believed the Gods could not discern the difference between fresh fruit and porcelain facsimiles.
Good condition. Minor chips consistent with age and use - does not detract. A few tips repaired.
