About the Item

Vintage Chinese Wooden Hand-Carved Tea Plaque with Dragons, Fishes, Birds & Flowers – A Masterpiece of Traditional Craftsmanship This Vintage Chinese Wooden Hand-Carved Tea Plaque is an exquisite work of traditional Chinese artistry, featuring intricately carved dragons, fishes, birds, and flowers—all symbolic of prosperity, harmony, and longevity. The craftsmanship reflects the deep cultural significance of these motifs in Chinese folklore and Feng Shui beliefs. Dragons symbolize power, strength, and good fortune, representing the imperial spirit. Fishes (Yu, 鱼) are associated with abundance and wealth, as the word for "fish" is a homophone for "surplus" in Chinese. Birds signify freedom, happiness, and good luck. Flowers symbolize beauty, renewal, and harmony with nature. The aged wood patina enhances the antique charm of this plaque, making it a perfect collectible for tea enthusiasts, Chinese art collectors, or those seeking an elegant Feng Shui decor piece. This hand-carved wooden plaque is ideal for tea rooms, cultural displays, or as a statement piece in a home or office setting. Details: Condition--Fair, Wear consistent with age and use.
