A turquoise deer on a carved cloud base: a large solid brass figure whose antlers open into a branch of golden blossom.
Ping bu qing yun – to step up into the blue clouds – is the old Chinese wish for a steady rise to a high place: a promotion, a good posting, a career that keeps climbing. Here the deer is standing on a cloud, which is that same wish made visible, and the word for deer also sounds like the word for an official’s salary.
The body is a mottled turquoise green with gold hooves, the antlers are a gold branch in blossom, and the deer stands on a cloud base of the same brass, sitting on a black plinth. At 99 cm tall and 19 kg it is the largest piece in the collection – a floor or low console piece for an entrance hall, a stairwell or a large living room.

Because every piece is finished by hand, the depth of the colour, the blossoms and the small details vary slightly from one piece to the next. Screens also show colour a little differently. That variation is normal and is not a fault.
