Description

The bottle is carved through the translucent red overlay with a large peony blossom and butterfly above a blossoming lotus plant, the reverse carved with two hanging melons, a bat, a teapot and cup, a crab, a chrysanthemum blossom and a seal probably reading jixiang (auspiciousness). Striding chi-dragons clutching lingzhi in their mouths flank the narrow sides.
