Vaso con coperchio in giada bianca Cina, Dinastia Qing, fine del secolo XIX, inizio del secolo XX

il corpo a balaustro su piede svasato, delicatamente scolpito su un lato con una fanciulla che regge una spada  e nell'altro con una gentildonna seduta intenta a leggere un libro con una lanterna a lato, il collo con ai lati due anse a fiore dalle quali pendono due anelli, il coperchio coronato da un bocciolo di loto con ai lati piccoli manici; su base lignea scolpita

Good overall condition with a small dark inclusion to the back of the vase to the right down corner ; the actual color is slightly greener than the catalogue would suggest.
