DESCRIPTION

A small Chinese porcelain saucer decorated in a colorful famille jaune palette on a vivid yellow ground. The interior features scrolling ornament with pink flowers and stylized motifs surrounding a central Shou longevity character. A multicolor geometric key-fret border in turquoise, blue, red, and yellow encircles the rim, with gilt accents adding further detail. The shallow rounded form rises from a neatly defined foot, while the underside is glazed white and bears an iron-red Chinese mark.

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The Shou character is a traditional Chinese symbol of longevity and frequently appears on ceramics intended for auspicious or celebratory use. Bright yellow grounds, formal scrolling ornament, and colorful geometric borders reflect decorative traditions that continued to be employed on Chinese porcelain during the 20th century.
