2014 Taiwan Koji Pottery- Peace during All 4 Seasons Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.
First day of issued: Nov 14,2014.
Each of these elements features seasonal flowers. The designs follow:
1. Spring Peonies (NT$5): In China, the peony is the queen of flowers and has been used to represent riches and honors since ancient times. An orchid basket and an incense burner are placed on either side of a vase with an arrangement of peonies and plum branches to suggest wealth and prosperity.
2. Summer Lotuses (NT$5): Lotuses and water lilies are regarded as the most righteous of flowers. Lian (water lily) is a homonym for incorruptible in Chinese. It symbolizes passing the imperial exam and being an honest official. The lamp, a homonym for son, on the right symbolizes a lineage that lasts forever.
3. Autumn Chrysanthemums (NT$10): Chrysanthemums signify longevity and indifference to fame or gain. The arrangement also includes plum blossoms, which suggest integrity, and a wax apple, which symbolizes wealth.
4. Winter Camellias (NT$25): The camellias in the tall vase are matched with evergreen pine branches symbolizes longevity. The ruyi scepter behind the vase signifies auspiciousness and fulfillment of one’s wishes. On the right side of the vase, roses, which are also known as “flowers of everlasting spring” in Chinese, symbolize eternal youth.
