天然彩色翡翠雕「兒孫滿堂」紋洗

The translucent jadeite of deep celadon tone, suffused with patches of deep amber colour and streaks of bright emerald green colour, carved as a brush washer supported on a base with pomegranates, highlighted by a mantis and a cicada.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Testing Certificate, the jadeite "brush washer" is natural, Type A Jadeite Jade. Please refer to the certificate for details. In our opinion, this jadeite ornament is translucent, of deep celadon tone, suffused with deep intense brown-yellow colour patches on outer layer. Upon close look, there are cloud inclusions and a few surface reaching texture lines on the inner side of the washer. But, all these features are not seen from distant view. Condition: Accompanied by a fitted wooden stand, in very good condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
