"1891 to 1920” - Chinese Blue & White Porcelain "Rice" Plate • Based on the underglaze "CHINA" stamp and the specific measurements provided, this plate was made between 1891 and 1920. • This plate was "jigger mold formed" rather than thrown. but id entirelv hand panted using cobalt oxide. So each plate is unique, and will show various differences in size of items, placements of buildings or trees, and the number of items painted. • The three symbols around the central display are; (double gourd for Health and Longevity), (crossed scrolls for Knowledge and Wisdom), and (flower basket for The Eight Daoist Immortals). • The central medallion displays a traditional Chinese riverscape with a pagoda a, an arched bridge, stylized trees, and distant mountains. • The wide rim is decorated with cut-outs resembling rice grains. This effect was done by piercing the unfired clay body and filling the small perforations with clear glaze before firing. • The design the back of the plate has a double meaning; (The Sacred Bat (Fu) for may endless fortune surround you.), and (The Plantain/Banana Leaf (Jiaoye) for self-cultivation, resilience, and academic focus. • In good condition, no cracks, breaks, but there are some chips on the under rim.
