A Lovely Gourd

Little 1* A small shape, with delicate design, yes, that makes the white small gourd more lovely.
The design here is made by a friend of my grandfather. The upper part of the gourd is long and thin, and the lower part of the gourd is a bit round, and the whole gourd is well-balanced. On the upper part, there is a grapevine, with green leaves, and many beautiful, purple grapes. On the lower part, there is a grey squirrel there, with a big tail, which seems to want to have those grapes. And on a blank area, " The Squirrel Steals the Grapes" was written in Chinese.
