A SUPERB WHITE JADE VASE QING DYNASTY, 18TH – 19TH CENTURY

[ translate ]

the flattened ovoid body rising from a stepped foot to a short neck and lipped rim, flanked by a pair of bat handles, the body delicately worked on each face in shallow relief, depicting a pair of fish and a beribboned musical chime (qing) suspended from a wan symbol, similarly decorated to the sides with stylised cloud scrolls above cresting waves, the stone of an even white tone with occasional cloudy inclusions
12.3 cm, 4 7/8 in.
