A PALE GREENISH-WHITE AND RUSSET JADE CUP WITH 'CHILONG' HANDLES

YUAN-MING DYNASTY (1279-1644)

The shallow cup is raised on a circular ring foot and set with two handles shaped as clambering chilong with bifurcated tails. The exterior is incised with further chilong amidst clouds. The semi-translucent stone is of a pale greenish-white tone with areas of russet and opaque buff mottling. The base is carved with a twelve-character inscription in seal script that conveys a wish for sons and grandsons forever.
