Qing Dynasty Famille Rose Figural Offering Dish — 'Liu Hai & The Golden Toad' - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

Description
A finely potted offering dish of elegant elongated hexagonal form, with gilded rim and crisply angled sides.

The reverse sides are each decorated with a bold iron-red bat in flight, representing happiness and good fortune. Soft, harmonious palette and fluid brushwork throughout.
