Description

  • jade
l'une à décor archaïsant d'une bande de motifs géométriques, la seconde aux bords évasés flanqués d'anses ajourées formées de dragons chilong, la dernière escaladée d'un chilong (3)

Condition

The biggest cup shows some very light fritting to the rim and natural russet veins all around. One leg of one dragon to one handle is chipped. The actual color is darker celadon, less pale celadon, than the catalogue illustration would suggest. The one in the middle on the illustration is in good overall condition with some tiny nicks to the rim between the leg and the head of the dragon. The last one is good overall condition with a tiny nick to one ear of one dragon. The actual color of both is a fraction more celadon, less white, than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
