一個充滿祝福願望的粉彩碟. 上面繪有五隻飛翔的蝙蝠,正中有壽字,取其福壽之意. 背面佛手果.多籽的石榴果和壽桃子, 都祈望着上天對家庭和健康的恩佑.
“乾隆年製”款.

A Qianlong famille Rose plate decorated with patterns full of blessing. The pronunciation of “bat” resembles that of the Chinese word meaning luck and well being. On the back of the plate there are three kinds of fruit. The packed seeds in the pomegranate indicates a big family with many members. The peach associates with immortals and longevity. Needless to say, the buddha’s hand fruit is never short of blessings.
