From the Rijksmuseum record

This vase in the shape of a double gourd has an underglaze copper-red decoration. The pattern includes bats and small gourds, leaves, and vines. The bat stands for good fortune. The gourd is a Daoist symbol of magical powers and refers to heaven and earth, which are united with each other in the form of the gourd.
