Provenance: From the Estate of a Swedish Noble Family.

Lingzhi or ‘divine fungus’ is amongst the most revered and interesting plants in China. Also called ‘Auspicious Plant’ or ‘Immorality Plant’, lingzhi is believed to be a magical substance and Daoist alchemists claimed that by taking lingzhi man could attain immortality and even a dead person could come to life again. Lingzhi has been a popular motif in Chinese art for two thousand years. Many imperial porcelains of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties are painted with the lingzhi design, often in a stylised or simplified form. It is extremely rare, however, to find porcelain lingzhi modelled in its naturalistic form like the present pieces. The Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736–95), was famous for his love of outstanding objects that give a brilliant, imposing and opulent look.
