Period: Yongzheng reign (1723-1735), Qing dynasty (1644-1911)

In Chinese language, “fish” (yu) and “surplus” (yu) are homophones. Traditional design often used a fish motif to express the wish “a surplus of abundance for many years to come”. The vase is glazed white both on the inside and outside with vivid and lifelike painting done in iron-red and green on the exterior.
