A CHINESE HETIAN JADE STEMMED CUP

拍品描述

Fashioned from pale milky Hetian nephrite dotted with faint russet natural flecks, this elegant stemmed cup boasts a wide flared rim and gently tapering bowl supported by a segmented baluster stem. A warm amber stain naturally permeates the flared circular foot, contrasting subtly with the pale jade body. The vessel is thinly hollowed with uniform smooth walls and polished to a soft luminous patina. Devoid of decorative carvings, it embodies minimalist classical jade aesthetics, a refined scholarly drinking vessel cherished by connoisseurs of fine Chinese hardstone wares.
