Shuangxi, 'double happiness', is a popular symbol for weddings, as good things come in pairs. The inclusion of bats (fu) and peaches (shoutao) in the decoration implies wishes for blessings and longevity, making this vase an appropriate wedding gift. Compare with a Daoguang jar and cover with a similar decoration preserved in the Palace Museum in Beijing, no. Gu00155918.
