AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare 19th century dish with Jiajing mark,
Diameter 18,7 cm
Decorated in underglaze blue, overgraze enamel and gilding.
Symbolism and Design (Front)
The motif consists entirely of traditional Chinese blessings for happiness and longevity:
Central Character: A stylized character 壽 (Shòu) — meaning "Longevity".
Five Bats: Arranged around the center are 5 bats. In Chinese, the word for "bat" (fú) is homophonous with "happiness/good fortune". Five bats represent the famous motif "Five Blessings" (五福, Wǔ Fú): longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and a peaceful death in old age.
Three Abundant Fruits (三多, Sān Duō):
Peach: Symbol of longevity and immortality.
Pomegranate (split open, showing seeds): Symbol of numerous offspring and family continuity.
Buddha's Hand Citron (Fóshǒu): Symbol of happiness and good fortune.
3. Technique and Condition
Technique: Combined decoration — underglaze cobalt blue paired with overglaze enamels and gilded highlights on the blue areas.
Visual Details: The characteristic bluish/greenish tint of the glaze on the back and the smooth foot rim align with the style of Jingdezhen porcelain workshops from the late 19th century.
Condition: minor glaze chips to the rim.
