Posted By: Cal Thu, Jun 14, 2012 The Eight Daoist Immortals. Do internet search. Some of their associated objects/attributes are often found as part of decoration on objects such as containers in various media (lacquer, metal, ceramics).

Posted By: Bill H Fri, Jun 15, 2012 Probably China's Daoist 'Eight Immortals', who are known to sail the seas in such a craft on occasion, like when going to visit the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West. More details at link below.
