Chengdu Nine-Yue Osmanthus (set)

Chengdu Nine-Yue Osmanthus (set)

With apologies, we have no idea what this is, but we will tell you what we know:  it (and its companion piece 20307994) is still firmly sealed in cello-wrap, unopened.  The gold-leaf title on the front translates as our title shows, making it sound like a flowered tea, but it came from a postcard shop in Chengdu.  The reverse attributes this to “Sanhua Acdemy”, for which Google does lead to that bookstore/shop.  A poem on the back cover says:  “The beauty of Chengdu lies in the details.  The flower of Jincheng, beauty in time and space, There are flowers in the history of Chengdu.  There are flowers in poetry and there are flowers in time.”  And we very much hope there are postcards in this item, but, to repeat, we don’t know!  Having said all that, it looks really nice.  Grade: 1
