Description
Celadon-coloured nephrite vase, China, 18th century
Of a flattened baluster shape, the vase is flanked on either side of the neck by a carved and openwork handle in the form of an archaic chi dragon, whose muzzle rests on a ruyi. On each side is a relief carving of a lingzhi ‘mushroom of longevity’ emerging from a central band linking the handles together. The top of the slightly flared neck ends in a flat rim upon which the lid originally rested. It stands on a curved foot that flares outwards towards the base.
Height: 14.3 cm; weight: 262 g
The lid is missing.
