Product Description
This Shiwan ceramic figurine is a classic collectable. Shiwan has been a center for artistic pottery since the Tang Dynasty. This timeless statuary is still made today in the same city using the same glazes and techniques as were employed hundreds of years ago. In Chinese society the fisherman represents one of the four basic pursuits, along with farmer, scholar, and woodcutter. In Chinese the word for fish is a homonym for wealth or abundance, so the fisherman can have a greater symbolism of self reliance and seeking fortune. Perched on a end table, mantle, or window sill the fisherman evokes tranquility with it's simple and traditional styling, yet reminds you to work hard and fulfill you dreams.
