The Chinese word for gourd (hu lu) is a homophone of “fortune” (fu) and “wealth” (lu). It is the very reason that Chinese people are particularly fond of gourds and created gourd-shaped vases. A wall vase usually has holes on the flat back for hanging on the wall or attached to the sedan. It is a new type of porcelain wares of the Wanli reign.
