A FINELY CARVED WHITE JADE PEACH-FORM BOX AND COVER <br/>QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

This case with lid is carved from white jade in the shape of a peach. The lid and the case are divided from the middle of the peach, and the inside is hollowed for placing small accessories. Winding branches and leaves are embossed from the stem on the lid while bats are hovering around the leaves and the fruit. Branches are also embossed from the bottom of the case, and they also serve as the foot to stabilize the case. This exquisite artifact is both a beautiful decoration on a table and a practical carrier. The combination of peach fruit and bats are symbols of good fortune and longevity.
