The peel split lengthwise and folded back; the hollow where the fruit was becomes a shallow trough. A stick of incense lies flat on a fire-resistant pad inside and burns down to ash within the peel. Dehua white porcelain — blanc de Chine — in antique-style glaze, the stem tip glazed black.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe name\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiang Jiao sounds exactly like \"banana\" in Chinese, but the second character is not the one for the fruit — it is 焦, \"scorched\": the stick burns, the banana turns to 焦. A pun in Chinese, a small joke in porcelain.

In Southern Min-speaking communities, their name lends itself to a play on the word for “inviting”, expressing wishes to welcome prosperity and good fortune. Xiang Jiao carries that familiar blessing into an everyday porcelain object, with a quiet wish for a life of abundance and ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOpen edition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open-edition everyday piece — no numbering, base stamped with the XIANSU seal and the studio seal.
