A group of yellow-ground famille-rose wares

十九世紀末至二十世紀初 黃地粉彩「萬壽無疆」瓷一組

This exquisite group of yellow-ground famille-rose porcelain wares dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, featuring vibrant polychrome enamel decorations set against a rich imperial yellow ground. Each piece is adorned with the auspicious inscription "Wanshou Wujiang" (萬壽無疆), meaning "boundless longevity," a phrase traditionally associated with imperial celebrations and wishes for eternal prosperity. The delicate floral motifs and refined craftsmanship reflect the high standards of Chinese imperial porcelain production during this transitional period.
