清嘉慶 御製白玉龍紐璽
印文：嘉慶

Condition Report:
The seal is on overall good condition with tiny expected nibbling or minor occasional nicks along the edges. There is a natural vein across the edge of the disc to the front right of the dragon (showing on the catalogue illustration) and a small natural pale grey inclusion to the rear of the head of the dragon. The actual colour of the jade is more mutton fat white, less pink than the illustration would suggest in the catalogue.

整體品相良好，僅有少許極輕微細磕痕及天然瑕疵（如龍前右方及龍首背部）。實際呈色較羊脂白。

Provenance:
Florine Langweil (1861-1958), ca. 1907.

Collection of Emile Guimet (1836-1918), and thence by family descent.
