“Connection through compassion, celebration in kindness—
when gourds meet, blessings fill the world.”
— Heinrich Wang
The “Blessing Gourd” is a small yet meaningful piece of contemporary porcelain art, transforming the auspicious gourd motif from Eastern culture into a refined and poetic desk accessory. Designed by Taiwanese artist Heinrich Wang, the piece combines symbolism, functionality, and elegant craftsmanship in one compact form.
Inspired by the concept of 福祿 (good fortune and prosperity), the gourd features:
A precise notch for holding business cards—symbolizing the start of auspicious connections.
Delicate perforations on top for pens, or even a single flower—representing thoughts written, memories shared, and friendships celebrated.
Despite its small size, the creation process demands remarkable skill. Each opening must be carved at just the right moisture level: too wet and the form collapses, too dry and the surface cracks. The result is a light yet enduring vessel that captures the essence of thoughtful living.
Friendship & Gratitude｜A Gift with Emotional Depth
Ideal for gifting to friends, mentors, coworkers, or new partners, this piece conveys heartfelt appreciation and the wish for lasting connections.
Business Card Holder + Pen Stand｜Elegant Functionality
A unique fusion of utility and art, the Blessing Gourd adds meaning to daily work and enhances any workspace with subtle ritual.
Cultural Symbolism｜The Gourd as a Carrier of Fortune
A cherished motif in Asian heritage, the gourd embodies harmony, safety, and prosperity. Here, it becomes a sculptural celebration of cultural wisdom.
Advanced Craftsmanship｜Timing is Everything
Each of the small perforations on the porcelain body is a feat of technical precision—cut when the clay is at its perfect state, no earlier, no later.
