Peach season is upon us! This peach design is an exact reproduction from China's Yongzheng Period (1725-1735), painted in pink and opaque white enamels. The bowl front features five peaches and two bats, symbolizing Wufu, or the five happiness; health, wealth, virtue, old age, and a natural death. It also matches beautifully with a number of our other patterns.

Carol Schroeder, who writes about the retail industry, shares her thoughts about retail shops using Facebook as their primary site.
