拍品資料及來源

This is a rare agate version of the popular series of basketweave bottles found usually in nephrite, but also known in moulded gourd, glass, yellow porcelain, and ivory.

The existence of a jade example bearing the personal hall mark of the Daoguang emperor (lot 176 in this sale), combined with the wide mouth of this example, suggests a mid-Qing date for this group of bottles, whether from the last years of the Qianlong period or as late as the reign of the Daoguang emperor.
