Dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in an enamel palette of three tones of green, dark violet-blue, iron-red, yellow, turquoise and aubergine with details in black and gilding. The shallow rounded sides spring from a low tapered foot and extend to an outcurved rim. The interior is decorated with a Maiden Immortal escorted by two ladies-in-waiting, one bearing a processional ornament, similar to one held by a male attendant standing nearby; another male approaches carrying a gilt censer on a tray. All in a fenced garden with pierced green rockwork and a tall maple tree. The underside has Emblems of the Four Accomplishments.
