An Imperial Spinach-Green Jade Brushpot
Jadeite plume-holders (a pair)
Human Figure |
Qing Dynasty The flower container is shaped like two carps jumping up, with their mouths facing upward and bodies straight. The carps are covered with scales all over their bodies and their tails are crossed to form a supporting point. The bellies of the carps are hollow for holding flowers. The red sandalwood pedestal is carved into water waves, making the two carps look like playing in water. Made of pure crystal, this flower container is lively shaped and intricately carved. It is a rare masterpiece. |
