Date: undated

The exterior of the basin is decorated in blue-and-white style. Auspicious images of pines, rocks, waves, rising sun, clouds and bats adorn the walls of the pot. The pine tree symbolizes longevity while the character for “bat”, fu, is a homonym of the character for “good fortune”. The entire picture incorporates the idea of auspiciousness. This large pot was likely made in the late Kangxi era by the Jingdezhen Yu kiln in commemoration of the emperor‘s birthday.
