Bring a piece of the Forbidden City into everyday life. The Palace Museum Treasures Series 3D Magnetic Fridge Magnet draws inspiration from iconic artifacts in the Palace Museum collection, recreated as a refined miniature with museum-level detailing. Designed with a 3D construction, it holds securely as a fridge magnet and also stands beautifully as a desktop display piece, offering a compact accent with a rich cultural presence.

Daji Gourd (Good Fortune Gourd)
The “Daji Gourd” design features a gold tone electroplated alloy base plate, engraved with the classic “Five Blessings Embracing Longevity” motif to create a radiant foundation of good fortune. Above it, a raised, baked enamel gourd centerpiece recreates the look of coral red glaze, vivid green five bats, and the gilded “大吉” (Daji, meaning “Great Fortune”) inscription. The gourd is secured to the base with an alloy stand, then finished with a protective topcoat that locks in color and enhances shine. Layered craftsmanship brings auspicious symbols to life in miniature, including bats presenting blessings, five bats honoring longevity, abundant fortune, and ribbon motifs symbolizing extended life, capturing the spirit of Palace Museum treasures in a compact souvenir from Beijing.

The inspiration for this Daji Gourd fridge magnet comes from the Beijing Palace Museum artifact known as the Rosewood-Framed Famille-Rose Porcelain “Daji Gourd” Hanging Panel. Popular from the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty onward, inlaid porcelain plaques like this were often set into standing screens, hanging panels, multi-leaf screens, and carved lacquerware. The original piece features a hardwood outer frame and a famille-rose porcelain plaque shaped like a flat gourd vessel, with a bat modeled along the rim and accented in gold, gold brocade-style decoration across the body, and a green stylized floral-leaf ribbon motif at the waist, all rendered with vivid realism.

Cloisonné Ewer
This metal fridge magnet is inspired by the Beijing Palace Museum treasure Gold-Bodied Cloisonné Enamel Ewer with Inset Painted-Enamel Panels, marked “Made in the Qianlong Reign” from the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty. Reinterpreting the original gourd-form vessel in a compact 3D relief, the design highlights its iconic structure, including the gilded gourd-shaped body, the dragon-head “swallowing” spout, the ruyi-shaped curved handle, and the lotus-style base. A gold-tone electroplated finish evokes the brilliance of the metal body, while raised, die-cast cloisonné scrolling lotus patterns recreate the classic ornamentation on a sapphire-blue enamel ground. The framed cartouches are produced with fine printing to suggest the inset painted-enamel panels depicting figures and landscape scenes, including ladies, and a protective topcoat seals in color and preserves intricate details, capturing the splendor of Qianlong-period enamel craftsmanship in miniature.
