清嘉慶 松綠地粉彩番蓮龍鳳紋雙耳瓶

the globular body enameled with four large Indian lotus blooms, alternating between two enclosing stylized shou characters in the center flanked by blue dragons, and two blooms enclosing a bud flanked by pink enameled phoenix, all against a network of floral scrolls between a band of archaistic scroll at the neck and upright lappets around the base, the neck similarly decorated with two lotus blooms between a band of ruyi around the rim and above upright petals, flanked by two bat handles enameled in blue, all reserved on a turquoise ground with the details outlined in gilt, the base ground presumably to remove the seal mark

The upper part of one handle has been off and reattached. The footrim and base have been ground down. There are minor losses to the turquoise and famille-rose enamels on the rim and body overall.
