A CHINESE SPINACH JADE LIDDED VASE

拍品描述

Weighing 3320 grams, this elegant vessel measures 16.5 cm in length, 8 cm in width and 42 cm in height. It is finely fashioned from rich spinach jade showcasing natural tonal variegations across its glossy polished exterior. The fitted domed lid is capped by a smooth rounded finial, while gracefully sculpted floral-form handles project from either side of the slender neck. The elongated body bears deep-relief carvings of twisting blossoming branches complemented by low-growing foliage motifs, all culminating in a compact stepped pedestal foot. With masterful relief detailing and balanced proportions, this refined lidded vase makes an outstanding centrepiece for distinguished collections of traditional Chinese jade decorative wares.
