Item No.: 1021
Name: A blue-and-white and famille rose dish with a magpie announcing good news
Period: Qing dynasty, Xianfeng reign
Rim diameter: 22.0 cm
The border is decorated with scrolling lotus in underglaze blue and gold. A large, partially unrolled letter scroll fills the center, drawing attention to a magpie in flight among plum blossoms and bamboo painted in gold and red enamels. The scene suggests the arrival of good news: winter gives way to spring, and hardship to happiness.
