Yellow-ground bowls profusely painted with flowers in the famille-rose palette originated in the Kangxi period and continued to be produced in the imperial kilns through the end of the Qing dynasty. The compositional complexity and choice of flora varied. The present example belongs to the most ornate class of bowls of this type. The exterior is sumptuously ornamented with assorted flowers, each type imparting a particular auspicious meaning. The symbolism continues on the interior, where the five soaring bats (wufu) represent a wish for the owner to enjoy the 'Five Blessings' of longevity, health, wealth, love of virtue, and peaceful death.
