Pair of doucai saucers with bats and peach tree, Qing dynasty, Yongzheng period, 1723-1735. A pair of doucai birthday saucers painted in the centre with five bats flying around a fruiting peach tree sprouting from a cliff above waves. The reverse has four groups of lychees with 'shou' (longevity) characters between pairs of bats. There is a Yongzheng six character mark on the base and the pieces are of the period. These saucers would have been given by the Emperor to an official, probably on his 70 birthday, and would have been treasured heirlooms.
