Organic Handcrafted Gourd Lamp

Features:

Gourds, so common and insignificant in western countries, have a much deeper meaning in Chinese culture. Drying and painting them to us seems fun, but for Chinese people is an art and fengshui.

In terms of history, gourds were dried and used for keeping or transporting water, wine, medicines and magic potions. However, as with many other objects and symbols in Chinese beliefs, they also had a homophonic relationship with another “hu”, signifying protection and blessing .Thus, gourds in China were used as charms for scaring away malefic spirits and diseases.

Each lamp is  handcrafted, beginning with  sketches, outlining and charting the pattern, through the gourd processing, like cleaning, engraving, carving, perforating, painting and protecting, creating the base of the lamp and, at the end, montage of the whole lamp.

As in many other cultures, gourds in China are related to fertility rites, harmonious connubiality and parenthood. The sound of the term gourd, in Chinese Fu Lu , also means fortune and wealth, with the gourd seeds symbolizing productivity and fertility.
