The character shòu is a Chinese character representing longevity. It is one of the most important symbols in Chinese superstitious traditions along with fu (福, fú, happiness and good fortune) and lu (禄, lù), prosperity and professional success. The three characters are associated in what is called Fu Lu Shou, also corresponding to three deities of Chinese popular religions.
The production of Blue and White really began in China during the Yuan Dynasty. Indeed, scholars and senior officials of the Song dynasty previously preferred the beauty of the simplicity of monochromes, closer to the spirit of Confucianism. But in the 13th century, the Chinese already had knowledge of Kaolin and mastery of kilns: they were thus able to exercise the mastery of their art in the manufacture of superb “Blue and White” pieces.
