Chinese Candy Box

Chinese candy box is a traditional box used during Chinese New Year for storing candy and other edible goods. The box usually has a lid; some are more fancy and elaborate than others. It is usually colored with a red or black motif, since traditional candy boxes were lacquerware. Due to the higher price of lacquerware, most modern Chinese candy boxes are made of plastic, but some of them are still made of lacquerware

Famous quotes containing the words candy and/or box:

    Why, what a candy deal of courtesy
    This fawning greyhound then did proffer me!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He holds the wire from this box of nerves
    Praising the moral error
    Of birth and death, the two sad knaves of thieves,
    And the hunger’s emperor;
    He pulls the chain, the cistern moves.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
