Royal Selangor Straits Expression - Peacock & Phoenix Travel Caddy

This is the Royal Selangor Straits Expression - Peacock & Phoenix Travel Caddy. This perfectly sized pewter caddy, with specific dimensions of H9.4cm x 7cm x 7cm, is not just a travel companion but a piece of art that combines history and elegance.

• Dimensions: H9.4cm x 7cm x 7cm
• Inspired by a Qing dynasty Tongzhi reign garden stool, this caddy features 24K gilt ogival panels on each side, framing exquisite 'bird and flower' Chinese paintings. The peacock, a symbol of rank and wealth, stands amidst peonies and plum blossoms, while a pair of phoenixes, representing beauty and harmony, perch on rockery surrounded by peonies.
• The threaded single-layer lid cleverly incorporates the classic double-coin motif, symbolizing the welcoming of prosperity, as a functional finger grip.

The Royal Selangor Straits Expression collection offers a modern interpretation of extravagantly colored nonya ware, a unique art form belonging to the Peranakan communities of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore. This travel caddy is a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary aesthetics, making it a delightful addition to your journeys.
