A CHINESE HETIAN JADE SINGLE HANDLED CUP

拍品描述

Carved from soft pale Hetian nephrite naturally mottled with warm amber russet inclusions, this squat rounded cup features a compact curved handle attached to one side, topped with a flat rectangular plaque finely incised with linear detailing. The bowl has smoothly curved walls tapering gently to a small flat foot ring, with an unadorned exterior highlighting the stone?s subtle natural veining. The entire vessel is polished to a gentle creamy patina accumulated through centuries of gentle handling. Simple yet masterfully proportioned, it is a refined antique jade drinking piece sought by collectors of Chinese hardstone tableware.
