Authentic Qing Dynasty Jiāqìng period Famille Verte charger plate 1796-1820 Mint

Description: Measurement: 9 inches diameter This authentic, original Qing Dynasty Jiāqìng period Famille Verte charger plate, circa 1796 - 1820, with a butterflies and gourds motif.  It is marked with the traditional zhuanshu seal of the period, 大清嘉庆年制 , Dà qīng jiāqìng nián zhì, and is in near mint condition.  The back has 4 red bats. The Motif of Butterfly ( dié 蝶 ) and gourds ( guā 瓜 ) represent the wish for many sons and grandsons (Guā dié miánmián 瓜瓞 绵绵 ). The thousands of seeds found in gourds symbolize the wish for ceaseless generations of descendants. According to Teresa Tse Bartholomew in Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, San Francisco, 2006, p. 62, the term 'guadie mianmian' comes from the Book of Odes which is one of the earliest collections of Chinese poetry. In classical feng shui applications, the bat (fu 蝠) is a representation of "good fortune", (considered a wealth cure) or happiness (fu 福) because both characters are pronounced fu.  Often the bat is shown flying upside down because the character (dao 倒) for "upside-down" and the character (dao 到) meaning "to have arrived" are both pronounced the same. This is considered a sign that happiness and good fortune have arrived. In the Mandarin Language, a bat is called Biānfú ,  蝙蝠 which is homophonous with Biàn fú, 變福which means “becoming prosperous” or “turning into blessings”.
