Item Description

This item is a wonderful Chinese Wedding Basket of unknown age. Historically Chinese wedding baskets were used to carry gifts of food and other items to the bride and groom on their wedding day.  Gifts often included food, sewing materials, and a nightgown.  Baskets often featured a dragon and phoenix motif, which symbolized success, prosperity, and a happy marriage.

This antique, red-lacquered Chinese Wedding Basket with gold-covered carvings is a fine example. The piece stands 11” tall and is 10.5” at its widest point, while the lid is secured by a brass hasp and is removable. Whether as a decorative piece or to keep treasures within, it will welcome happy conversation and delight the eye of the beholder.

This gracious donation is from Donna Ikeda of Honolulu. She is a former Hawaii state senator and has been a dedicated supporter and Honorary Board member of the Lawai International Center for 35 years. She supports the Center because this humble place uplifts the world with the Light of Lawai.
