Herend China Laughing Buddha Reserve Collection
Trimmed in 24k gold

Limited Edition of 250
The Laughing Buddha emerged from Chinese folktales of the 10th century. The original stories centered on a monk named Chitzu who was an eccentric but much - loved character who worked small charitable wonders. The artists at Herend have made the Laughing Buddha their own by incorporating new layers of symbolism. By painting him in the rich highly ornate Jiangxi pattern they have created one more reference to abundance. The Jiangxi pattern also features a recurring lotus motif which is very prominent in Buddhism. The lotus flower represents the Buddha mind because though growing in mire it puts forth beautiful - immaculate flowers. Packaged in a luxury case.
