"loot" in 1859 by the Anglo-Franco troops. It is a fine specimen of copper enamelling, the darker shade being the so-called "lost Chinese blue" which cannot be reproduced by modern processes. It is probably many hundred years old and was originally mounted on an elaborately carved stand which has however fallen to pieces. It was sent from China by my mother's brother...in that country from 1842 to 1859 when he died there. I am afraid he took it from the Palace himself... after the loot he became the possessor of a very considerable number of beautiful and valuable articles which he sent home to Scotland... this plate being amongst them."With another handwritten note dated to 16 June 1978: "Chinese plaque, Sotheby Parke Bernet (Old Gaol Museum Com.) 300/400 (current auction value)"With a typed letter dated to 24 March 1994 from Robert S.

清雍正 粉彩麻姑獻壽圖大盤 the interior delicately enamelled with Magu, the goddess of longevity, holding a lingzhi spray, beside a boy attendant carrying a basket of peaches over his shoulder, and a stag with a peach in its mouth, the mouth rim gilded, the base with a wheel engraved Johanneum Inventory mark 'N=183 I'43.5cm diameterProvenance:August II, 'August the Strong', Prince-Elector of Saxony (1670-1733), Dresden;Private English collection, Hampshire; the collection has been in the family for over four generations, since the 1920's.Footnote: Note: The scene on this dish depicts the Daoist Immortal, Magu, on her way to celebrate the famous peach banquet of the Queen Mother of the West, Xi Wang Mu, who rules over the garden of the peaches of longevity. The fine drawing of Magu's feminine face is in the traditional Chinese style without shading. The scene contains many symbols of long-life and immortality, especially the lingzhi fungus, the deer, and the peaches, while the blossoming prunus tree represents youth and new life.Augustus II (1670-1733) King of Poland and Elector of Saxony known as Augustus the Strong, whose passion for collecting created the basis of Dresden’s Art Collections, had a particular fondness for East Asian porcelain from the 17th and early 18th centuries. Obsessed with porcelain, he had the largest collection of Asian porcelain in Europe with over 29,000 pieces recorded on his death in 1733.This plate can be dated with some accuracy since no new pieces were added to the collection of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) after his death in 1733, and the inventory books at Dresden reveal that dishes of this kind were acquired in 1727. After his death in 1733, the porcelain was packed away in the cellars of the unfinished "Japanische Palace". The term "Johanneum" was taken from the building in Dresden to which the royal collection was moved in 1875-76.One plate with the same number of the old Dresden inventory (N=183 I, inventory 1779) and almost identical decoration and size is in the Dresden collection.[1] Some other examples with the same inventory number entered the art trade presumably as a result of earlier sales, with examples found in the museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam[2] and in the former Collection Ignazio Vok.[3] Two smaller dishes (39cm diameter and 38.8cm) with the same design and inventory number were sold respectively at Christie's London, 30 April 2015, lot 111 and Sotheby's New York, 17 March 2021.
