  • Material: Mineral/ceramic/porcelain
  • Description:
    Open basin, straight cylinder body, short circle foot. The word “longevity” is written in red and blue on the yellow ground glaze. Ruyi and deformed banana leaf patterns are painted on the lips and the bottom edge, and gray white bodies are exposed on the bottom. The Dutch painter Hu Bohuashi once painted the painting Sitting Portrait of Seventy Longevity for Empress Dowager Cixi (collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing). In the painting, the Empress Dowager was dressed in a Tuanshou pattern, with a large flower pot with the character “Shou” on each side of her body, similar to this exhibition piece. Pink peach flowers are planted in the pot, which is homophonic to “longevity peach”. In the Hanging Screen with Spring Vegetables (hence the silk 00198), a Qing Dynasty Qianlong tapestry was collected in the courtyard. “Longevity” was painted on the flower pot. Evergreen was planted in the pot and named “Changqing”. Auspicious characters are used as flower pot decorations, such as the “Auspicious, Prosperous and Noble” Large Flower Pot (hence Porcelain 03818) in the courtyard collection, which is described in four characters: “Auspicious, Prosperous and Noble”. Green leaves and trees are filled in the strokes
