About the Item

A copper-red produced in Jingdezhen, China, during the Ming to early Qing dynasty (15th–17th century). It features a copper red applied over a bluish-white glaze, which is glaze type of Ming Dynasty. The exterior is decorated with fishes, while the interior is inscribed with characters symbolizing longevity and blessings. "寿 (shou, longevity)," "南山 (Nanshan, enduring like the southern mountain)," and "喜 (xi, joy)" at the center, forming a classic auspicious inscription (吉祥文, jixiangwen) that conveys wishes for longevity and blessings.
