Item details

This is a Qianlong-period famille rose enamel and relief-carved porcelain brush pot depicting the Queen Mother of the West’s birthday celebration. It has a robust, well-proportioned form, with a rolled-in mouth, short constricted neck, full body, and ring foot. The scene depicts a banquet at the Jade Pool, with the Queen Mother seated at the center among the Eight Immortals, the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, and other immortals; auspicious cranes, peach blossoms, and clouds complete the composition. The densely arranged scene has clear layers, elegant colors, and fluent, natural painting; the piece is intact and presents as an authentic period example. Height 42 cm, Width 59 cm
