Description

A very nice bowl/plate with flowers and peaches. Early 17th century. Rare bowl and beautifully decorated bowl. Strong cobalt colors.

Symbolism:
Prunus
Symbol of Winter, corresponding to the month of January. One of the "Three Friends of Winter". Emblem of beauty, purity and longevity, for it is believed that Laozi was born under its branches. In modern China Prunus is the National Flower, its petals signifying the five peoples: Han, Manchu, Mongol, Mohammedan and Tibetan.

Peach
Peach - Tao - most if all immortality and long life. The God of Longevity is often shown holding or sitting on a peach. Peaches are the fruit of which the drug of imortalitu are prepared of. Also Marriage and spring.

Chrysanthemum
One of the "Four flowers of the Season" as a symbol of the autumn, the ninth month and symbol of joviality, first mentioned in the Book of Rites written in the Zhou dynasty. The flower has come to symbolize easy life after retirement as reflected by the Song dynasty Scholar Zhou Dunyi (1017-1073) who regarded it as "the flower of scholarship and loneliness". Chrysanthemum is also a well-known herb used to prolong life. The petals and leaves are used to make wine and medicine. The early morning dew, collected from the flowers, was thought to help with longevity.

Peony
Peony - Mu-Dan - Queen of Flowers, the peony is a emblem of wealth and distinction.
