Fox Teapot

$44.00

Foxes are very common in North China and are regarded as the transmigrated souls of deceased mortals.  Among their supernatural qualities they are believed to have the power of transformation, often assuming human shape.  It is said that at the age of 50 the fox can take the form of a woman, and at 100 can assume the appearance of a young and beautiful girl, or otherwise, if so minded, of a wizard possessing all the power of magic.  The fox is regarded by the Chinese as an emblem of longevity and craftiness.  Wayside shrines dedicated to the fox are often found in the country where he is invoked both for the cure of disease and also as a god of wealth.  Some wealthy people ascribe all their good fortune to their careful worship of the fox.  3" height by 5-1/4" length by 3-1/4" width; 6 ounces capacity.
