Vase couvert en jade vert épinard et poisson en jade céladon pâle sculpté Chine, dynastie Qing

le vase de forme balustre à section carrée, à décor archaïsant de phénix et ailes de cigale, les arêtes et le couvercle ajourés sculptés de chilong soutenant quatre anneaux mobiles, le poisson au corps globulaire, la gueule entrouverte, les nageoires et les écailles finement sculptées

Good overall condition. The fish with some russet and mutton-fat inclusions and a very tiny dent to the mouth, the actual color is slightly greener than the catalogue illustration would suggest. The tip-end of the knob of the vase could have been chipped and polished, some very tiny dents to the rim and footrim, the actual color is consistent with the catalogue illustration.
