Cartouches in the form of stylised lingzhi fungus, the plant of immortality, frame the four gentlemen, set against a pattern derived from the ancient character for ‘ten thousand’ wan, signifying a long life, decorate this impressive platter.
Its unadorned centre makes it ideal as an exotic charger at formal dining, or for personalising as a commemorative or corporate gift.
