carved in the round, comprised of a large ripe peach borne on a gnarled branch issuing unfurling leaves and a further smaller peach, a bat with wings spread on one side, the stone a pale celadon with milky white veining and a patch of russet 

Sotheby's New York, 19th March 1997, lot 90. 

The carving is in mostly good condition, however, there is a small loss to a branch on the small peach, and two losses to two offshoots of the principal branch, as well as minor expected wear to the surface. The color of the stone is slightly more celadon than in the illustration in the printed catalog.
