Xi (Happiness) Jar

- $185 -

A jar bearing as a major design element the Xi (pronounced chee) device signifying happiness. A pair of Xi indicates wedded happiness. This jar is 5" tall, 5" diameter, 4 1/4" at the base and 2" at the mouth.

Besides the Xi device the jar carries a design we have also seen on smaller bottles which we believe to be herbals.
