A fine and exceedingly rare large famille-rose ‘peach tree’ bottle vase, Mark and period of Yongzheng｜清雍正　粉彩折枝桃花長頸膽瓶　《大清雍正年製》款

of generous proportions, superbly potted with a pear-shaped body elegantly rising to a tall slender neck, all supported on a splayed foot, the exterior masterfully and exquisitely painted in pastel tones with a continuous scene like an unrolled painting wrapped around the vessel, depicting two kinds of intertwining flowering peach trees, the gnarled branches intertwining on one side and issuing white and pink buds and blooms most delicately rendered in shaded tones, the branches extending across the vessel with large amounts of negative space on one side showcasing the exceptional quality of the white porcelain body, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark within a double circle
