Ecran de table en jadéite incrustée de stéatite et nacre Chine, début du XXE siècle

rectangulaire, à décor incrusté de pierres dures et nacre représentant une femme et un enfant nourrissant des oiseaux à l'ombre d'un arbre fleuri sur lequel est perché un oiseau au plumage chatoyant, des lingzhi poussant au pied de l'arbre, le revers sculpté d'un prunus en fleurs, cachet à quatre caractères en relief, socle en bois sculpté ajouré

Good condition overall. Some mild pitting to the surface areas near the corner. A 6mm section of the second could from the left, as well as a 8 mm section of the creeper hanging near the bird in the middle are missing. A minute chip to the bottom of the cup the boy holds in his hand, some expected rubbing in areas to the enamels. The jadeite is darker, the actual colours not as bright and saturated as the illustration would suggest in the catalogue. The wood stand comes in two sections that can detach.
