A CARVED WHITE JADE VASE AND A COVER

18TH CENTURY

Provenance

Post lot text

The finely carved decoration on this vase bears auspicious messages. The Chinese word for ‘quail,’ an, is a homophone for the word for ‘peace.’ The imagery of quail and millet represents the rebus: suisui ping'an, which may be translated as 'may you have peace year after year'.
