Antique symbol

People who do not know what to look for often miss the intended meaning carried on a piece of art or craft.

“The good fortune symbols are often conveyed by symbols in the form of people or deities, animals, plants, fruit, motifs, calligraphy, rebuses (visual puns) and paintings.”
Look out for lucky bats, peonies (prosperity), white cranes longevity), mandarin ducks (love), lotus (wealth, offspring) butterfly   (love), crane (longevity), goldfish (abundance of gold), horse
(endurance/strength), magpie (joy), rooster (advancement), cicada (regeneration), or a peach (immortality).
The vase contains several symbols. At the top and base of the vase are five bats surrounding a symbol, “the five fortunes surrounding longevity”. The vase also carries the image of a resplendent phoenix (good fortune or good luck), chrysanthemums (comfortable life) and pomegranates (fertility).
