COUPE EN JADE CÉLADON PÂLE DYNASTIE QING, XVIIIE-XIXE SIÈCLE |

sculptée en forme de fleur de lotus à décor de six larges pétales, le pourtour délicatement chantourné, la pierre au doux poli

There are two very shallow chips on the rim and a ca. 0.3 cm bruise to the tip of one petal. There is a minute nick inside a foot underneath. There are dark brown and white inclusions in the stone. The surface is well polished. The actual colour is slightly more celadon and the inclusions less saturated than the catalogue illustration suggests.
