FAQs

Double gourd vases, known as hulu in China, traditionally symbolise good fortune, longevity, and protection, holding deep roots in Daoist iconography.

These vessels are formed from refined kaolin clay, decorated with cobalt oxide paint on the unfired body, coated in a clear glaze, and fired at high kiln temperatures.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting underglaze cobalt variations, oxidation marks, potting weight, rim glaze wear, and reign mark characteristics on the base.

A double gourd vase functions well as a standalone decorative object on a sideboard, open shelf, or mantelpiece, contrasting styled greenery or natural wood surfaces.

Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth and clean gently with warm water and mild soap when necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents or prolonged immersion.
