文物賞析：
這是一件敞口盆、直筒器身的大花盆，在黃地釉上飾有紅、藍兩色彩所書的「壽」字，唇及底沿各繪如意與變型蕉葉紋，器底露灰白胎。
荷蘭畫家胡博華士曾為慈禧太后作〈七十大壽油畫坐像〉，畫中太后身著團壽紋衣裳，身側各置一「壽」字紋大花盆，樣式與本展件類似。盆內栽植粉色桃花，盆與花之間呈「壽桃」諧音意。花盆紋飾與盆內所種花卉形成諧音關係的植栽方式，歷代皆有，尤以清代為盛。
吉祥文字作為花盆紋飾（如院藏〈清黃地「吉祥富貴」大花盆〉，以「吉祥富貴」四大字直述。筆畫內填綠葉、牡丹、茶花、蓮花等折枝花），這些乃藉由天地萬物的力量，以植物為象徵，求長壽之歡樂的寓意，是一種「造意」的添加。清中晚期以來，畫風充滿吉祥意，也影響到慈禧太后時期，宮中花器紋飾設計的選擇。
Planter with a broad mouth, cylindrical body converging at the bottom, and circular foot-ring. Half of the interior is glazed white, and the exterior is coated with yellow glaze over which shou (壽, longevity) characters are written in red and blue enamel colors. Beneath the rim and around the foot ruyi and transformed plantain leaf patterns are painted. The bottom is unglazed.
Portrait of Empress Dowager Cixi on Her 70th Birthday, an oil-painting by Dutch artist Hubert Vos (1855-1935), shows the empress wearing a gown decorated with the shou character, next to her is a large flowerpot with a shou in which pink peach blossoms is arranged to represent‘the peach of longevity’. These kinds of arrangements of objects with auspicious homophones were popular throughout Chinese history, particularly in the Qing dynasty. Similar examples using the shou character are also found on porcelain.
Yellow Flowerpot with Auspicious Characters (NPM guci 01111) bears the characters ji (吉, luck), xiang (祥, auspicious), fu (富, wealth), and gui (貴, precious) as the main decoration. Within the red characters, there ore green leaves, peonies, and camellias, and lotus. The idea being conveyed is that all living things have a power, of which the plant is the symbol through which the blessing of long life might be conveyed. Paintings with auspicious connotation had become mainstream in mid to late Qing art, the Shou Character Silk Tapestry with one single shou character as the subject is a good example. This fashion also influenced the Empress Dowager Cixi’s choice of décor for planters used
in the court.
