The surface is adorned with a carved illustration depicting an intimate mahjong game: elongated figures leaning over a curved table, hands reaching for tiles and dice under the glow of a single hanging lamp, the pieces circling the body of the vase in a rhythmic sequence, celebrating the everyday vibrancy of Hong Kong’s local culture.

This vase is part of a larger collection titled Fragments of HK, where each piece tells a story found while wandering through the streets of Hong Kong. Together, the collection captures a mosaic of the city’s everyday life, scenes that may often go unnoticed but are deeply rich in cultural significance.
