Auspicious Cake Mold Chopstick Holder/Pen Holder

〔 Ceramic cakes 〕 The ceramic chopstick holders, which are pressed using traditional woodcarving molds of mung bean cakes, come in shapes such as pineapple, lotus pod, longevity peach, number one scholar, plum blossom, chicken, butterfly, lion, and cicada. The chopstick holder also has a homophonic meaning of "get married quickly". Cakes are usually used in offering sacrifices to gods and as gifts. This is because the word "gao" in cakes and pastries means "high" in Chinese pronunciation, which means rising step by step. It is a blessing for other people's lives. Traditional designs often use auspicious blessing language homophones, such as "fish" for every year, "persimmon" for good luck, "blessing" for butterflies, "prosperity" for prosperity, etc. The habit of homophony is still vigorously used in our culture. There are also connotations derived from observations of the biological characteristics of plants and animals, such as the plum blossom for its tenacity, the lion for guarding and warding off evil, the lotus for many seeds, the turtle for longevity, etc., as a hope to pursue. The surface is matched with glazes of different colors and textures, presenting a visual experience that is either simple or novel. It is very suitable as a small gift for moving into a new house, opening a store, getting married, or for personal collection!
