Good condition

A pair of peonies emerges from a rock formation under a blue streaked sky, a flowering thicket in the distance. The well-painted scene is outlined in scrollwork and foliage, and is shown on each side of this bottle, reserved on a cobalt blue ground with peony meander. The exposed gilt metal foot ring neatly contains an underside of white enamel centered with a four-character Qianlong mark in black. The domed, chased gilt metal cover depicts overlapping lingzhi issued from a central blossom.

Condition

In overall good condition with minor wear. A small enamel loss below the mouth rim present.
