sculpté en forme d'une grande pêche évidée, le pourtour enveloppé de branchages feuillagés chargés de fleurs et de pêches, le bord visité de deux petites chauves-souris aux ailes déployées, la belle pierre d'une couleur uniforme au doux poli

There are small chips to the tips of two petals of the single flower on the side of the washer. There are minute fritts and tiny chips to the raised parts of the carved design. There are scattered calcified spots to the stone, one small area to the side with needle-like inclusions. There are several natural flaws or veins that have been incorporated into the carving. The stone is of a pale celadon tone.

器圓雕桃形，精雕細琢，陶膛中空，可為水盂，亦可為洗。工匠因材施藝，隨形圓雕。如此碩大之材，雕成桃形，更加強調了她萬壽喜慶的吉祥意願。器外壁枝葉翻捲，枝頭新果拙壯，蝙蝠飛舞其中，頻添多福多壽之美意。

有兩例頗為相似，為哈特曼收藏之桃式盌，尺寸稍小，見Robert Kleiner，《Chinese Jades from the Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman》，香港，1996年，編號92及 93。書中筆者提及碩大材質使作品更有可朔性，更富立體效果，見前書頁110。
