China. Finely carved with the fruit amid vines, leaves and a flying bat. The reverse with an oval recess, made so that the plaque can also be used as a washer, the lip finely incised with two more bats. The translucent stone of fine white color.
Provenance: From the collection of Robert 'Bob' Mayer and his wife, Beatrice 'Buddy' Cummings Mayer, who were hugely influential figures in the development of contemporary art in the United States.
