【Reunion Pair Cups】 Rooster & Hen Mountain-Shaped Cups / Housewarming, Wedding Gift

【Family Reunion】Mini Mountain-Shaped Cups - Rooster & Hen Set (Home) Mornings in the Yilan countryside are often awakened by the roosters of our own or neighboring homes. Chickens are also a common sight, leisurely wandering in the courtyards of traditional three-section houses. In traditional Taiwanese folk weddings, the "leading rooster and hen" symbolize the new couple starting their own family. The "couple chickens" are a blessing for a harmonious married life. In the Minnan dialect, "chicken" (雞, jī) sounds similar to "home" (家, ka), thus chickens also represent family reunion. The words for "egg" (蛋, dàn) and "generation" (代, dài) also sound alike, so a hen laying eggs symbolizes passing down blessings through generations. The Sanshing Four Seasons reunion chicken tableware, designed with distinctive local cultural blue and white patterns combined with unique classic blue and white porcelain craftsmanship, allows you to enjoy the simple charm of Yilan life on your everyday dining table. 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-glazed.
