- 1珍玩；奇珍小物（因好看或稀罕而收藏的小東西；偏老派、店家用語）
A curio is a small object you keep because it is beautiful, strange, or rare — a tiny , an old box, a shell from far away. Shops used to sell “curios” to , and people kept them in a cabinet. The word is a form of curiosity, in the sense of “an interesting thing,” from the mid-1800s. It sounds a little old and shop-like now; younger speakers might just say a little antique, or a weird little object. It is a noun for the thing, not the feeling of being curious.
