When blessings come in pairs, so should your gifts.
Explore how symbolic porcelain pieces express the beauty of companionship, encouragement, and shared success.
🌸 Why We Treasure Things That Come in Pairs
In many cultures, including in the East, the idea of “pairs” symbolizes completeness, harmony, and shared joy. From Mandarin ducks to the phrase “double happiness,” pairing reflects auspiciousness and deep emotional resonance.
At NewChi Porcelain, we translate these cultural metaphors into contemporary porcelain art — turning every pair of figurines or matching vessels into expressions of love, trust, partnership, and celebration.
This article introduces five porcelain works that are perfect for meaningful occasions, showcasing how symbolic pairs can carry heartfelt wishes into everyday life.
🐟 **“Together”**|Navigating Rough Roads, Side by Side
This pair of swimming fish captures a moment of unity and perseverance. Set on a rugged base, the two fish glide together — elevated, synchronized, and fearless.
Whether gifted to a life partner or a trusted collaborator, this piece honors companionship forged through challenges and mutual support. The open composition, with suspended forms, evokes fluidity and strength — just like relationships that flourish through trust and shared vision.
🎁 Perfect for: Partners, siblings, long-term friendships, teamwork
🐭 **“Counted Among the Best”**|Encouragement in a Playful Form
At first glance, this may seem whimsical — two mice standing confidently, one giving a thumbs-up. But there’s depth in its pun: “Shu” (mouse) is a homophone for “count,” turning this into a message of appreciation and encouragement.
It says, “You’re doing great — and I see you.” The piece invites healthy competition, admiration, and the spirit of uplifting one another in work or life.
Each mouse sits on a base carved with the Chinese phrase “Number One and Two” — turning the artwork into a seal of recognition.
🎁 Perfect for: Colleagues, children, students, creative professionals
