A vintage mid-century Chinese ceramic fishbowl planter decorated with a raised enamel-style fruit pattern. The exterior features vibrant clusters of peaches, pomegranates, grapes and gourds, outlined in relief against a deep cobalt blue ground.

In overall good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Some cosmetic wear and stains as is to be expected of a piece this age.
