Description:
A beautiful Chinese porcelain Tianqiuping bat vase, exquisitely painted with a motif of red bats floating amongst whispering clouds. The design is framed by bands of ruyi, lotus, shou (longevity), and lappets, all rendered in delicate detail.

• Design Elements: The repeated imagery of red bats symbolizes good fortune and happiness, while the clouds and auspicious symbols like the lotus and shou bring additional layers of meaning related to prosperity and longevity.
• Marking: The vase bears an apocryphal six-character Guangxu mark, typical of the period but not an authentic imperial mark.

In excellent condition with no obvious blemishes, this vase serves as a striking piece for collectors of Chinese porcelain and those who appreciate symbolic and decorative artistry.
