This petite porcelain dish from the mid-19th century is hand-painted with red & green overglaze enamels in the famille verte style. The perfect wedding gift for a newly wed couple, the colorful design is layered with motifs for a long and happy marriage.

Brushed in red-orange enamel, round floral medallions bear the characters for double happiness (shu?ngx? ?), a traditional symbol for loving partnership. Surrounded by botanical scrollwork, large pink peonies convey love & affection and a ripe peach at the center offers the blessing of longevity.
