Blossoming at the Chinese new year, camellia and flowering plum trees are popular symbols of spring renewal. The verse on this dish likens the trees and their delicate blossoms to beautiful women: "Lightly made up and casting scattered shadows, they lean toward each other." Inclusion of the poem on this porcelain dish encourages comparison of the decor with a painting bearing the Three Perfections (poetry, calligraphy, and painting). The background of opaque color, however, exploits an aesthetic new to porcelain decoration of the early eighteenth century. The use of strong color demonstrates too that ceramic decor remained an independent art form even though it was influenced by works on paper.
