‘Long Eliza’ is a term used to describe the tall women on Chinese export porcelain and comes from the Dutch ‘Lange Lijzen’.The pair of women usually consists of a taller, normally understood to represent He Xiangu, and a shorter, representing Lan Caihe. Both figures are semi-historical Daoist Immortals; the former being a pure maiden who floats on clouds and consumes moonbeams, and the latter being a musician and benevolent patron whose attribute is a flower basket, to which the jardiniere on this plate possibly alludes.

A similar plate can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum (AK-RBK-16289)


Provenance:

Lieutenant General Sir Terence Sydney Airey KCMG, CB, CBE (1900 - 1983) and thence by family descent
