AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A colourful "Five Blessings and Longevity" (Wufu Pengshou) Plate
A highly traditional, structured auspicious layout. The center features a stylized peach surrounded by a bright blue and green stylized flower head. The outer rim is adorned with four large peaches, four stylized Shou (寿) characters written in orange-red seal script, and five stylized gray/green bats.
Symbolism: This plate forms a visual pun, or rebus, known as Wufu Pengshou ("May the five blessings surround your longevity"). The five bats represent the five ultimate blessings (wealth, health, longevity, love of virtue, and a peaceful end), while the peaches and Shou characters reinforce the wish for an exceptionally long life.
The painting is dominated by rich pinks, striking turquoise and leaf greens, and contrasting iron-red geometric detailing along the rim.
Hand-painted iron-red "Endless Knot" (Chang) auspicious mark on the base.
