Gump's, San Francisco, by repute. Collection of Andrew N. Jergens (1881-1967), Cincinnati, Ohio.
The lingzhi fungus is a popular motif in Chinese art, signifying longevity. Considered the food of the immortals, it is also a wish-granting symbol whose form is related to the ruyi scepter. A similar Yongzheng-marked dish is illustrated by I. L. Legeza in Malcolm MacDonald Collection of Chinese Ceramics in the Gulbenkian Museum of Oriental Art and Archaeology School of Oriental Studies University of Durham, London, 1972, pl. XXXVII, no. 115. See, also, the Yongzheng-marked celadon-glazed dish of comparable size with similar lingzhi design on the exterior, but the interior and base left white, sold in Marchant – Fifty Qing Imperial Porcelains, Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 11 July 2020, lot 3101.
