Vintage Chinese Ceramic Spoons in the Wanshou Wujiang Design 萬壽無疆

This is a set of 3 vintage Chinese ceramic spoons in the Wanshou Wujiang 萬壽無疆 design. It is a combination of printed background and hand colored details. Each one slightly different from the other. The character shown in medallion reads 壽 (寿)Shou and signifies Everlasting Life. These spoons were made with high fired ceramics for lasting durability. The repeating ancient Chinese meander or "Greek fret" encircles the rim of the spoon. Additionally the scroll motif covers the entire piece.

The spoons measure about 5 3/4" long by 2" wide (14.5 x 5 cm). These lovely utensils remain in very good condition with no detected chips or hairlines.
