The openwork decoration of a bat and two coins represents the rebus fushou shuangquan (May you possess both blessings and longevity). According to Teresa Tse Bartholomew, Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, 2006, p. 169, no. 7.3.8, “while the two bats represent blessings, the two ancient coins are a pun for ‘completeness’.”
White jade washers of this elegant form are well sought-after. The present washer may be compared to a white jade washer of similar form with ring handles and raised on four cloud-form feet, dated to mid-Qing dynasty, illustrated in Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji (The complete collection of Chinese jade), vol. 6, Shijiazhuang, 1991, p. 219, no. 320.
