Lot Essay

The two magpies, 'shuangxi', symbolize 'double-happiness', as the character of the word for magpie, xi, is the homonym for happiness. See a famille rose jardiniere with very similarly painted magpies bearing a Shendetang zhi mark, Zhao Congyue ed., Porcelains with Inscription of Shendetang Collected by the Palace Museum, Beijing, 2014, pl. 71.
