A wish, given form

Ruyi (如意) is commonly translated as ‘as you wish’ or ‘according to your wishes’. Its form is associated with good wishes and harmony in Chinese decorative culture. These meanings are cultural context, not promises of luck, wealth, protection or healing.

Surface and character

The mottled copper-toned surface gives each piece individual patterns. Colour may differ across screens and lighting conditions. This is a contemporary decorative object, not an antique, historical artefact, ritual implement or toy.

Care

• Keep dry and avoid prolonged humidity, perfume and household chemicals.
• Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal polish unless recommended by the maker.
• Natural surface changes can occur over time.
