PAIR OF DOUBLE DEER WUJIAPI LIQUEUR BOTTLES IN PURPLE-SAND CERAMIC, WITH ORIGINAL EXPORT GIFT BOXES, 1960s–1970s

h cm 19
A pair of Wujiapi herbal liqueurs produced by the Taiwan Provincial Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau under the Double Deer trademark, in an export edition. Each is accompanied by its original export presentation box. Individual weights: 1,055 g and 1,015 g.
The bottles are crafted in purple-sand (zisha) stoneware, with twin handles and finely modelled raised decoration featuring the Chinese character shou (寿), symbolising longevity, together with peaches of immortality. The reverse bears the seal-script inscription Wanshou Wujiang (万寿无疆), meaning “May you enjoy boundless longevity”. The bases bear the Monopoly Bureau mark, while the original export duty seals remain intact around the bottle openings.
Wujiapi is a traditional Chinese herbal liqueur made by infusing sorghum spirit with a variety of medicinal herbs. This particular edition was produced specifically for overseas markets. The survival of the pair together, complete with their original presentation boxes and period seals, makes them particularly scarce collectors' examples.
