An unusual white-glazed 'carp' brushwasher Qing dynasty, 18th century

finely modelled around the sides and across the base with swirling crested waves issuing from the mouth of a large carp, its tail curled into the interior below the head of a bat with outstretched wings peering over the rim on the other side, covered overall with a bright white glaze
