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. Measure 8" tall x 5" diameter. less
