The bottle features a flattened, pear-shaped form with a short neck, a domed metal stopper with an attached spoon, and a slightly splayed base. The body is decorated on a bright yellow ground with a classic Chinese auspicious scene: two red-crowned cranes standing among rocks and grass, beneath a branch laden with pink peaches. The crane and peach are traditional symbols of longevity and peace in Chinese culture. The neck is adorned with a stylized lappet border in pink, blue, and white. The base bears a painted, four-character Qianlong seal mark reading "乾隆年製" (Made in the Qianlong Period), indicating it is a vintage revival piece in the Qianlong style. A delicate and highly collectible item.
