Our small “long life” plate was produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province in the early 19 th century. It is porcelain painted in an underglaze cobalt blue. It measures 7.6” in diameter. The figure in the center of the plate is a form of the character for “long life”. This central character is surrounded by the comb pattern. We find these plates from time to time, but they are not longer common.
