清十八世紀 青白玉靈芝擺件

naturalistically carved in the form of a cluster of cloud-form lingzhi heads growing from gnarled stems, the stone of a greyish celadon tone with faint russet markings

The lingzhi is in very good condition with the exception of some tiny nibbles running along a fisure towards the top of the carving. It should be noted that the stone is of a slightly more celadon tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
