Blue-and-white Plate with Design of an Official Getting Promotion
This blue-and-white plate commemorates the promotion of an official. It depicts an official under a canopy, about to receive an official‘s cap. This scene is a rebus for the auspicious meaning, “promotion into the ranks of nobility” (sheng guan jin jue). As indicated by an inscription in the unpainted area, this plate was commissioned in 1658 by Wang Ying of the Zhao region of Jiangxi province as a present for a friend.
