The meaning behind this piece
In Chinese, pig (zhu) sounds like the word for 'blessing', and the pig — one of the zodiac animals — is a folk symbol of contentment and abundance. Paired with the lotus, a sign of purity, the motif reads as a light-hearted wish for a full and happy life, offered as a cultural association only.
Sizing and wear
A compact 46 x 35 mm (about 1.8 x 1.4 in) at 67 g, this is an easy one-hand piece with a pleasing, rounded heft. Ask Yufu Jade for the depth and a scale photograph.

Why is the pig a lucky motif in Chinese carving?
The word for pig, zhu, sounds like the word for blessing, and the pig is a zodiac animal tied to contentment and plenty. The pairing with a lotus adds a note of purity — it is a folk symbol, not a promise.
How do I clean the inky and white areas?
The same gentle method works for both: a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can stress the stone.
