Montagne en jade céladon et gris sculpté Chine, dynastie Qing, XIXE siècle

représentant une grotte abritant un immortel barbu portant une longue robe, debout sous des branches de bambous et de pins sur des flots tumultueux, un baluchon sur son épaule droite, un livre dans la main gauche, le revers sculpté de rochers escarpés et pins sous des nuages stylisés

Good condition. A few minor nicks to the edge of the carved clouds on the back. The actual color of the stone is warmer, somewhat more celadon that the illustration would suggest in the catalogue ; an old inventory label to the base.
