AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Deep plate in Chinese porcelain, decorated in polychrome enamels over the glaze, in a late Green Family palette, with gilded accents.
In the center, a medallion with a pair of peaches, a symbol of longevity and union. The rim features four circular reserves with the character 囍 — “Double Happiness” — interspersed by flowering branches, peonies, and small auspicious motifs. The back is decorated with four iron-red bats, likewise associated with happiness and good fortune.
On the base is the four-character hall mark 浴硯書屋 — Yuyan Shuwu, translatable as “Studio for Washing Ink Stones.” This mark was used during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.
Condition: Generally good. Partial wear to the gilding, slight signs of use, rust stains, and firing irregularities. It presents a radial hairline at the rim, visible mainly on the reverse and extending toward the foot ring.
Diameter: 23.5 cm.
