From February 5, 2019 to January 24, 2020, the Chinese calendar has us in the Year of the Earth Pig. Symbolic of wealth and luck, the pig<\/a> is supported and connected within its earth element this year. In Chinese astrology, this translates into a year of security and prosperity.<\/p>\n

The Chinese New Year is traditionally celebrated by decluttering, cleaning, and bringing your environment into balance. (If you’ve been thinking about KonMari-ing your home, now is the time.) You can also decorate with pigs and other auspicious symbols to attract good fortune.<\/p>\n

Health: Dusty Rose Tea Shop Jar<\/h2>\n

For centuries, lidded jars like these have been used in tea shops in China. Associated with taste and upper-class refinement, tea is also renowned for its health benefits. Rendered in a striking shade of rose pink, this classic jar reinterprets an ancient form.<\/p>\n

Wealth: Twin Mythical Jar<\/h2>\n

The Chinese artisan who made this double-sided jar used a neutral glaze and incredibly detailed etching to add texture and depth to these twin pig figures. The jar was made in China\u2019s Fujian Province, but the design references a style of ancient vessels, occasionally uncovered in the Neolithic tombs of wealthy people.<\/p>\n

Prosperity: Rosewood Lantern<\/h2>\n

During the Lantern Festival (which falls within the first month of the Year of the Pig), people hang lanterns to symbolize finding a fresh start. Each of the frosted glass panels on this elegant lantern are detachable and fit precisely within the hexagonal frame like a puzzle. Delicately carved round medallions within the outer frame resemble Chinese eternal coins, conveying a blessing of prosperity and success.<\/p>\n
