A pair of phoenixes spread their wings around a peony in full bloom, their call heralding its flowering, their feathers rendered in kingfisher blue that recalls the old dian cui work, a craft of the Ming and Qing so prized it became a byword for luxury. In Chinese tradition the phoenix is the noblest of birds and a sign of grace and good fortune, and the peony the flower of wealth and honour, together an old wish for beauty, dignity and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawn from a Qing dian cui phoenix-and-peony headpiece in the Palace Museum, reimagined in enamel and relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of phoenixes (凤凰), noblest of birds and an emblem of grace and good fortune, spread their wings around a central peony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe peony (牡丹), long honoured as the flower of wealth and honour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeathers worked in kingfisher blue that recalls the look of dian cui (点翠), traced in matte gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt up in raised relief and filled with pearlescent lacquer for a deep, shifting lustre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet with cat's eye cabochons, red bead accents and pearl accents, and finished with a gradient ice-silk tassel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the woman who keeps beauty close at hand and finds meaning in the old stories.
