About the Item
These 19th-century Chinese oil lamps are shaped in the form of a young boy or baby, a motif often referred to as a "ho ho boy." Children are a popular motif in Chinese art and are considered lucky talismans for prospective parents.
Glazed in creme and brown in the style of cizhou ware, the children wear dudou aprons painted with the fú (福) symbol for good fortune. As though balancing a basket on his head, each ho ho boy is topped with a small cup for burning oil, likely for use during ancestor worship on a home altar.
