Famille Rose décor with Clouds & Bats, gilded Covered Bowl with Pair of Tea Cups

The design prominently features a cloud and bat motif, with particular attention given to the vividly lifelike bats, which are adorned with coral red glaze. This coral red glaze, emerging during the Kangxi period, is a low-temperature iron red glaze that exhibits a vibrant red with hints of yellow, reminiscent of red coral, hence the name "coral red." This glaze is not only visually appealing but also challenging to produce, making such artifacts quite rare in historical collections.
