拍品专文

The present jade carving is notable for its large size and finely rendered details. The superb quality of the carving exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship achieved by the jade carvers working under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. The subject of peaches and bats is very popular in art of the Qing period as it is imbued with auspicious connotations. As peaches denote longevity and bats signify happiness, imagery combining peaches and bats represent the blessing ‘may you possess both longevity and happiness’.
