Story
In 1894, the Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her 60th birthday, an event that triggered a massive production of 'Wan Shou Wu Jiang' (Long Life Without End) porcelain.
Maker / Origin
This piece was produced in the legendary kilns of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of the world for over a millennium.
Condition & Value
A significant hairline crack is visible on the reverse side near the foot rim, which shows some darkening from age. Value is driven by the authentic Guangxu period mark and the highly collectible 'Imperial Yellow' ground.
