Yongzheng Period Famille Rose Porcelain Plate – Magu Presenting Longevity Motif - Porcelain - China - Yongzheng (1723-1735)

## Description

A gracefully proportioned plate with finely shaped rim and subtly raised foot, decorated in the soft, luminous enamels characteristic of Yongzheng-era famille rose. The central field beautifully portrays Magu — the Daoist immortal of longevity — seated upon a cloud-form base, holding a blossom sprig with an offering brimming with peaches and precious fruits beside her. The wide border is elegantly arranged with scrolling peony sprays, geometric diaper panels, and a delicate gilded rim band. The painting is refined and fluid, the colour palette gentle and harmonious — a charming and auspicious example of early 18th-century porcelain, crafted to celebrate health, long life and prosperity.
