Pair of dishes; China, Qing Dynasty, Tongzhi Period, 1862- 1874. Porcelain. Presents apocryphal mark "Qianlong". Measurements: 4,5 x 25 cm (x2). Pair of porcelain dishes. The center is decorated with five red bats. Known as Fú (bat), the sound emitted when pronounced is reminiscent of another character that means happiness, so the representation of bats is common in Chinese art. In this particular case the presence of five bats together represent values such as longevity, wealth and health. They surround the symbol Shou (Great Blessing). The ornamentation is completed in each of the plates with four small tondos in which the eight immortals have been represented, a group of deities of Chinese mythology, according to which they existed on earth and were born during the Tang (618-907) or Song (960-1279) dynasties, living in the Penglai mountain. They are worshipped within Taoism, but also in popular Chinese culture. The members of the group are rarely depicted separately, and their powers can be transferred to utensils that can give life or destroy evil. Finally, the plates are completed with a yellow base on which are superimposed flowers and swastikas in red, representing the infinite sacred virtues of the Buddha Heart. The edge of each of the plates has a small golden band.
