The Wealth Bowl has a gold element to attract good fortune.
ROYAL Selangor has launched its Year of the Rabbit collection that is inspired by the Chinese zodiac.
Folklore tells of the great race called by the Jade Emperor to assign each year in a 12-year cycle to an animal.
They were then placed according to the order in which they crossed the river and the rabbit emerged fourth in the race.
It is believed that those born in the Year of the Rabbit are creative, compassionate and curious about the world.
The lunar new year collection comprises:
Year of the Rabbit Plaque
The highlight of the collection is a limited-edition plaque featuring two rabbits, gilded in 24K gilt, standing against a repeating wan (10,000 years) longevity pattern and incised in a satin-finish pewter parabolic disc.
Stylised waves, rocks and clouds provide a dramatic backdrop in crimson composite resin, lending focus to the golden rabbits.
The plaque’s prominent disc and rectilinear frame allude to the Chinese concept of the earthly plane and the dome of heaven, with its references to universal harmony.
There are only 1,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Each includes an engraving plate.
Year of the Rabbit Wealth Bowl In Chinese geomancy or feng shui, an open bowl attracts good fortune, especially when a gold element surrounds the bowl.
These beliefs and needs are met by the bowl’s spacious proportions and gold rim.
The enthusiastic rabbit hops across, within the 24K gilded central medallion.
A frieze of the 12 animals engaged in the great race surrounds the space around the medallion.
The bowl comes with a red composite resin display stand, carved with stylised red waves, rocks and clouds.
Year of the Rabbit Figurine
Two 24K gilt rabbits, side by side, enthusiastically survey the year ahead. Together, they attract wealth and luck.
Both rabbits sit atop a base of crimson composite resin decorated with stylised motifs of waves, rocks and clouds.
Engraving plates are available for personalisation.
Year of the Rabbit Seal
The rabbit sculpture, modelled to convey gentleness and curiosity, rests atop a soapstone plinth.
The collection can be pre-ordered at Royal Selangor stores and authorised dealers.
