拍品描述：
Six saucers in the auspicious 'monkey and deer' pattern, A set of six saucers in the monkey and deer pattern. All marked with a Tongzhi seal mark in iron red on the back, and of the period, Tongzhi period (1862-1874), China, D 12.5 cm, This pattern is rich in auspicious symbolism. The bird (que) is a visual pun on the word for noble rank (jue), while magpies are traditionally seen as bringers of joy. The deer (lu) symbolizes both longevity and wealth, as its name is a homophone for both “riches” and “official emolument” (prosperous career in government or public service). Lingzhi fungi, often shown with deer, also represent long life. Monkeys are included to express a desire for high status, as the word for monkey (hou) sounds like the term for a high-ranking official or commander. The butterfly (die), whose name is a homophone for “to repeat,” reinforces the blessings conveyed by the other symbols. Additionally, butterflies represent happiness in marriage, enduring love, and a wish for longevity, Two with a small hairline. No other damage or restoration. Slight wear of the pattern and gilded edge from age and use,
