Three Plates, China, Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period (1661-1722).

Three cobalt-painted porcelain plates. The central motif is a Chinese ideogram meaning "longevity" (壽, shòu). The rims of the plates are decorated with images of phoenixes (fenghuang), important figures in Chinese mythology. A symbol of virtue and grace, their appearance heralds the warmth of summer, as well as peaceful and happy times. The rims were likely adorned with bronze bands added later.
