The gourd shaped bottle is a traditional shape in ancient Chinese ceramics. The multiple seeds and twining vines of the gourd are endowed with the meaning of multiple offspring and continuous reproduction by humans. The gourd is also a sacred item of Taoism, which is both a magic item leading to fairyland and a container for storing the golden pill. The “red bat” on the bottle is homophonic with “Hongfu”, implying “Hongfu Qitian”
This bottle has a full and dignified shape, both in pattern and shape, reflecting the understanding and pursuit of “blessing culture” during the Qianlong period.
