Description: A pair of famille rose ‘bats and peaches’ bowls, Guangxu six-character marks in iron-red and of the period
Expert remark: Compare the related form, ‘bats and peaches’ motif, and Guangxu reign mark. Note the size (18.8 cm) and the different depiction of the same subject, yet still with a number of similarities including the gnarled branches, two-colored leaves, large peaches, and iron-red bats.
