One of the bajixiang or 'Eight Auspicious Emblems' of Buddhism, the double fish motif, emblematic of marital harmony and fecundity, appeared frequently in Chinese ceramics after its introduction through Tibetan Buddhism in the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368). The carp further symbolised longevity. The fassion for mounting such celadon wares in Europe was popularised in the 1750's by marchand-merciers such as Lazare Duvaux.
