The peach branch is inserted into the bottle and grows up around Ruyi’s handle. The natural pearl is embedded as the peach fruit. Ruyi’s head is carved with branches and leaves and two white jade peach fruits. A pearl peach is embedded between the two peach fruits. The modeling and theme processing are quite ingenious, and they are good at using inlaying techniques to match each other to show the fusion characteristics of materials.
