A fencai enameled basinLate Qing dynasty
Stoutly potted with a raised edge to the rim flange painted in opaque colors with bats and clouds on a turquoise ground that also surrounds the butterflies and peonies filling the floor of the well while eight ribboned Buddhist emblems appear amid flowers on a rich yellow ground on the interior walls and five iron red bats on a colorless glaze on the exterior walls that stops short of the flat and unglazed base (minor wear to enamels).
