An impressive and exceptionally large Qing dynasty Chinese Famille Rose fish bowl (jardinière), standing an imposing 51 cm tall.

Decorated in the highly prized Famille Rose (fencai) palette—renowned for its rich, opaque pinks and delicate enamel shading—this majestic vessel features a vibrant “birds and flowers” composition. Colorful peacocks / peafowl stand proudly among luxuriant peonies, chrysanthemums, blossoming trees, and playful butterflies, all executed with fine brushwork typical of high-quality 19th-century porcelain.
