The word for gourd, hulu, sounds like the words “fortune” and “wealth” (fu lu), thereby giving this vase its auspicious associations. The interior of this gourd-shape vase is glazed white with a blue-and-white exterior. The lower stomach is decorated with the design of “Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea”. Each immortal stands on an auspicious cloud and rides it across the sea.
