Comments:Published PDF date : Qing Qianlong 1736-1795 Room 95 label text:PDF A803Glass vase with batsThis small opaque, white, glass vase is decorated with overlaid blue glass bats. Bats are a visual pun for happiness and five bats are a visual pun for the Five Happinesses ‘wufu’ – wishes for wealth, health, longevity, a virtuous life and a natural death in old age. The vase is also decorated with stylised 壽 (shou ‘longevity’) characters. The blue-and-white palette evokes porcelains painted in underglaze blue made at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. Overlaid glass Beijing 北京Qing dynasty, Qianlong period AD 1736-1795 PDF A803蝠紋玻璃瓶這件乳濁白色玻璃小瓶裝飾以藍色套料蝙蝠紋。蝠和福諧音，象征幸福，五隻蝙蝠則象征“五福”，即富貴、長壽、康寧、好德、善終。小瓶也裝飾以格式化的“壽”字。這種藍、白的色彩組合，令人想起江西景德鎮所製的以釉下鈷藍裝飾的青花瓷。套料玻璃（料器） 北京清代，乾隆，1736-1795年
