the ovoid body rising to rounded shoulders and a short neck, all supported on a slightly splayed foot, finely decorated around the exterior in bright enamels against a vibrant lime-green ground with a composite floral scroll bearing large flowerheads and peaches, neatly interspersed with auspicious motifs such as the shou character and outstretched bats, wreathed in curling multi-coloured foliage and various auspicious emblems including bats and endless knots, all between bands of yellow-ground ruyi at the shoulders and base, the neck bordered with a floral band, the footring picked out with florets on a light blue ground, the interior and base enamelled in pale turquoise, the base inscribed in iron-red with a six-character seal mark within a square panel reserved in white, the domed cover similarly decorated and set with a compressed globular knop picked out with orange petals.

Note: The composition of the decoration on the vase is closely related to a Jiaqing reign-marked green-ground famille-rose vases from the Qing Court collection, still in Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum.
