Design Inspiration:
Inspired by a Qing Dynasty painted snuff bottle featuring playful cats and butterflies — a symbol of long life, happiness, and fortune.
Koi fish, revered in Chinese culture as symbols of perseverance and success, echo the spirit of "leaping over the dragon gate" — a metaphor for overcoming challenges.
Lotus flowers accompany the koi, symbolising purity, harmony, and continuous blessings, as the word for lotus (lian) sounds like "year" (nian), while the word for fish (yu) sounds like "abundance" (yu).
The soft pastel hues, intricate outlines, and interplay of flora and fauna pay tribute to the refined artistry of palace artefacts.
Gift yourself or a loved one a piece of cultural heritage that weaves together stories of joy, fortune, and perseverance. The Wishful Koi & Auspicious Blessings Bookmark Set is more than a bookmark — it’s a poetic charm, a whisper of elegance, and a symbol of your heartfelt wishes. Let each page you mark carry the promise of a new beginning and the blessings of a graceful life.
