EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a pair of exquisite dishes from the Qing dynasty. Created during the Kangxi period, these circular ceramic pieces are adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, representing the rich heritage art of China. The dish depicts a Daoist female immortal named Magu accompanied by her attendant in a deer cart. The craftsmanship displayed in this artifact is truly remarkable. The overglaze enamel technique used to paint the delicate details brings life to every brushstroke, making it an exceptional example of Chinese ceramics. The glaze adds a lustrous finish to the surface, enhancing its beauty and historical significance. Magu, known for her association with immortality and longevity, is depicted here as a deity surrounded by symbols of prosperity and good fortune. Her attendant accompanies her in a beautifully decorated cart pulled by deer, symbolizing harmony between humans and nature. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian collection gallery, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance that flourished during 17th-18th century China. This dish not only serves as an artifact but also represents centuries-old traditions and cultural values deeply rooted in Chinese society. With its impeccable design and historical importance, this dish stands as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and enduring legacy of Chinese porcelain-making. It reminds us of our connection to ancient civilizations while inspiring us with its timeless beauty.
