Description.
A globular-bodied fishbowl made of glazed ceramic, decorated with glazes from the Famille Rose palette. The body is decorated with a continuous scene depicting the Eight Immortals, or Bāxiān, alongside mythologically significant creatures such as fish, turtles, dragons, and others, moving on a sea of stylized green waves. The landscape includes mountains and floating clouds, in a dreamlike setting. The interior is decorated with goldfish among aquatic plants on a white background, while the rim features a border with floral and scroll motifs.
