Overview
This is a finely painted Chinese porcelain dish depicting flowering peach branches and iron-red bats, a classic imperial design symbolizing longevity and fortune. The design famously wraps around from the underside to the interior ('guozhi' style) and bears a six-character apocryphal Yongzheng mark in underglaze blue on the base.
Story
The Yongzheng emperor famously commissioned porcelain where painting wraps continuously over the rim, breaking artistic conventions to symbolize boundless blessing and eternal life.
Maker / Origin
While bearing the imperial mark of the Yongzheng reign (1723–1735), dishes of this design are among the most revered and reproduced in Chinese ceramics. Modern master workshops in Jingdezhen still specialize in hand-painting these intricate Qing imperial reproductions.
Condition & Value
The enamels and glaze appear vibrant and intact with no visible rim chips or hairline cracks in the photographs. Excellent overall decorative condition. Genuine 18th-century imperial Yongzheng peach dishes fetch millions at major auctions, while high-quality 20th-century to contemporary hand-painted Jingdezhen studio reproductions typically sell between $150 and $450 depending on artistic execution and glaze quality.
