Lot 35. A magnificent and very rare large famille rose-enamelled turquoise-ground 'bats' vase, Qianlong incised and gilt six-character seal mark and of the period (1736-1795). Estimate GBP 700,000 - GBP 1,000,000 (USD 863,100 - USD 1,233,000). Photo Christie's Images Ltd 2016.

The vase is exquisitely decorated on a turquoise ground with iron-red bats suspending ribbon-tied auspicious emblems as they swoop amidst multi-coloured lingzhi-shaped clouds, all gilt outlined against the turquoise ground between a ruyi border at the flared rim and a border of petal lappets above the foot, which is encircled by a band of ruyi heads suspended from iron-red wan emblems. The neck is flanked by a pair of handles formed by ascending chilong with scrolling bifurcated tails finely shaded in iron-red with gilt detail. 26 7/8 in. (68.3 cm.) high
