Xuande blue and white porcelain has been listed as the crown of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty due to its thick and dignified shape, bright glaze, exquisite and bold decoration and elegant brushwork. This plate is decorated with pine, bamboo and plum patterns. Songzhu Meishi is known as “three friends of the old and the cold”, which means high wind and high integrity. The paintings of beautiful ladies in the garden on the outer wall provide valuable information for studying the life of aristocratic women in the Ming Dynasty. Due to the small amount of blue and white materials in Xuande period, few people painted figure patterns on blue and white wares, which are more precious.
