PROVENANCE:
Collection of Andrew N. Jergens (1881-1967), Cincinnati, Ohio.
The lingzhi fungus is among the most popular motifs in Chinese art,
signifying longevity. Considered the food of the immortals, lingzhi is also
a wish-granting symbol as its form is related to the ruyi scepter. A similar
Yongzheng-marked dish is illustrated by I. L. Legeza in Malcolm MacDonald
Collection of Chinese Ceramics in the Gulbenkian Museum of Oriental Art
and Archaeology School of Oriental Studies University of Durham, London,
1972, pl. XXXVII, no. 115. Another Yongzheng-marked celadon-glazed dish
of comparable size with similar lingzhi design on the exterior, but the interior
and base left white, was sold in Marchant – Fifty Qing Imperial Porcelains,
Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 11 July 2020, lot 3101.
