What is an Eight Treasures temple jar?
This hand painted Chinese blue and white temple jar and cover is raised on a spreading foot encircled with lotus lappets beneath a scrolling ground decorated with the Eight Treasures amidst the clouds. The shoulder is encircled with ruyi-head border and the neck is decorated with plantain leaves rising up to a small domed cover. Also known as the Eight Precious Things, or babao in Chinese, the Eight Treasures are a small, but popular subset of a much larger list and decorative pattern of the Hundred Treasures, also known as the Hundred Antiques which became popular in the 17th century and is commonly found in Chinese art during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).
The Eight Treasures on this beaker vase are each supported on a cloud, above a lappet border and beneath a ruyi decorated mouth rim.
1) The wish-granting pearl. Also known as the flaming pearl which symbolizes the granting of wishes.
2) The double lozenges. These symbolize happiness in marriage and they counteract maleficent influences.
3) The stone chime. This symbolizes a just and upright life.
4) The pair of rhinoceros horns. These symbolize happiness.
5) The double coins. These symbolize wealth.
6) The gold or silver ingot. Known as yuanbao in Chinese, these are small good luck coins that symbolize prosperity and good fortune.
7) The "iron tree" coral. This treasure from the sea symbolizes longevity and official promotion among the nine grades of government ranks.
8) The wish-granting scepter. Known as ruyi in Chinese, this word literally means "as one wishes", but it has a cultural meaning dating back thousands of years to the Yellow Emperor and the Han dynasty. It has become a rich symbol of power, peace, and happiness for the Chinese people.
Why should you buy this table lamp?
For those designers and home owners who appreciate bespoke works of art and beauty, these one of a kind table lamps bring the utility of ambient light into your home on the body of a hand-made and hand-decorated porcelain vessel that was created with the unique artistry of long-honored Chinese motifs and imperial patterns along with the same potting, painting, and firing methods used in the ancient kilns of Jingdezhen, China.
What else should you know before you buy this lamp?
Shade measurements and related details below are specific to the lamp, shade, base, and finial shown in the first image of the picture gallery. While some images may depict wider shade trims, please be aware that all shades come with a 1/2" trim only.
Since these works of art are hand-made, measurements are approximate and can vary depending on the potter who is making the piece. Slight differences in size do not constitute defect. Because these porcelain vessels are hand-decorated, color and design can also vary depending on the artist applying the cobalt decoration or polychrome enamels, as well as the temperature of the kilns used to fire these pieces. Differences in color or decoration do not constitute defect. Handmade and hand decorated, all lamps are made to order. If purchasing a pair, please order them at the same time so we can ensure a close match.
Please review the product details and our shipping and returns policies. Make To Order (MTO) items are not returnable. Again, differences in color, size, and decoration, do not constitute defect. While we warranty that they will arrive free of damage or defects, there are rules to follow when making a warranty claim. We encourage our customers to read our Warranty Policy before making their purchase.
Since these lamps are made to order, please allow 2 to 3 weeks for your item to arrive.

| Product Care | WARNING: Never use ammonia-based cleaning agents to clean any part of this lamp. These agents will cause an acrylic or Lucite base to become cloudy which is irreversible once damaged. They will also remove the finish from a rosewood stand or wooden lamp base. When cleaning an acrylic base and porcelain lamp body, use only a non-abrasive damp cloth, preferably a microfiber towel or lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth with warm water and wipe down the lamp and base. When cleaning a wooden or rosewood base, never use water or liquid cleaning agents. Use only a dry non-abrasive lint-free cloth. Do not dampen the cloth as this will remove the rosewood or gold leaf finish. Hardback shades are not washable. To clean the hardback shade, only use a dry, soft microfiber towel or lint-free cloth and wipe down gently until all noticeable dust and dirt is removed. |
