A WHITE JADE ARCHAISTIC VASE AND COVER

QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

12 ¼ in. (31.5 cm.) high, hardwood stand, cloth box





Further details

The present vase is representative of the taste of the Qianlong Emperor most notably for its large size and even white tone. The appetite for white jade reached a climax during the mid-reign of the Qianlong Emperor with the supply of jade coming as a direct result of his desire for it. This supply came in the form of tributes primarily from the Khotan. Compare to another Qianlong white jade vase with identical phoenix handles from the Collection of Sir Quo-Wei Lee II sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8 October 2019, lot 110.
