The current lot is richly decorated with the auspicious 'hundred deer' motif. The word 'deer' translates as lu and the peaches represent longevity or shou; together they form the auspicious pun lushou which literally means 'fortune and longevity'. Furthermore, the large bulbous vessel with wide waist suggests generosity and abundance of wealth; the precious lingzhi within the scenery, which has medicinal properties, also represents long life.
