Each vase has a tapering ovoid body decorated with four bats alternately suspending a ribbon-tied chime or a peach above a lotus spray with scrolling tendrils. Both are surrounded by hibiscus scroll above a band of petal lappets and below bands of ruyi heads and flower sprays on the sloping shoulder. Both necks are similarly decorated between two small blue scroll handles, all below an out-curved mouth rim with shaped edge corresponding to the ruyi decoration. The body is nicely painted in a famille rose palette reserved on a white ground.
