Peach Bat Porcelain Plate

??The Elder Craftsman’s Peach Blossom Spring??
Yang Master has painted ceramics in Jingdezhen for 50 years. He said the most touching order was from a California girl for her grandmother’s longevity gift: “I want a plate with Chinese blessings to hold my homemade osmanthus cake.”
On that day, when he opened the wooden window of the kiln factory, peach branches were brushing the window frame, bats were fluttering in the twilight… When his brush dipped in peach red pigments, the blessings from the East and West suddenly came to life.
“The arc of the bat’s wings should trail after the petals for the glaze to come alive”
?? Yang Master muttered these words as he made the final stroke on the greenware.

??A World in a Dish, Blessings in a Brushstroke??
When you hold this porcelain dish, the brushstroke of underglaze pigments on the peach blossom petals under your fingertips??three layers of gradient pink, from deep to light, are the spring colors that the old craftsman blended with his brush five times.

Carefully look at the five golden brown bats:
1. The “Heavenly Bat” in the center bestows good fortune
2.3. The “Earthly Bats” playing on the sides guard the home
4.5. The “Blessed Cub” hiding among the peach branches blesses the offspring

(Find all of them! It’s said that you will be rewarded with hidden blessings.)

??A Thousand-Year Code in the Shape??
Don’t underestimate this plain 9-inch round dish! Its curvature replicated the Ming Chenghua imperial banquet dish shape:
– 3.5 cm shallow bottom to prevent spilling
– 2 mm silver-edged rim to prevent chipping
– Bottom foot ring is the fingerprint certification of handmade pottery

When the sunlight passes through the window frame, the rim of the dish casts a bluish-white shadow on the dining table??Song Dynasty people called it “Yingqing Liuobo,” while we call it “the breathing porcelain.”

??Secrets More Enduring than Family Heirlooms??
Why does the underglaze red in the museum not fade for 600 years? The key is the underglaze magic of three layers:
1. Hand-painted mineral pigments on the greenware (those peach branches and bats!)
2. Soaked in 1280??C kiln fire for 30 hours
3. Glaze layer sealed the picture like crystal

From now on, it won’t fear scratches from forks and spoons, coffee stains, or the dishwasher, becoming more lustrous like jade with use.

??The Eastern Ritual of Unfolding??
We understand that you want more than just a plate:
?? A walnut wood box opens to reveal the dish in a velvet slot, like opening a jewelry box
??? A gold foil blessing card with space for a handwritten message (tried writing English with gold ink? It’s stunning!)
?? A cultural manual with a 17th-century painting replica of bats and Chinese, English, and Italian interpretations
?? Hidden surprises: Gently tap the center of the dish three times and hear the clear chime of a jade bell??what a Jingdezhen craftsman calls “the sound of a jade-like body”

“Grandmother used it to serve turkey at Thanksgiving, saying that the red bats and cranberry sauce were the perfect match.”
