The decoration on this porcelain bowl, of bats flying over waves, was molded to imitate carved lacquer and exhibits the same depth and richness seen in actual lacquers from the eighteenth century. The shape of this bowl is unusual for Qing-dynasty porcelain. The closest parallels can be found in small wooden dishes with metal rims from Tibet and Mongolia, which were sometimes placed on altars to hold flowers or other offerings. It is possible that this dish was also intended to serve a ceremonial function, or as a gift for a foreign dignitary.
