TWO 'GEESE' CARVINGS AND A 'LOTUS POD' CARVING 19TH / 20TH CENTURY

the first in the form of a goose grasping a spray of lotus in its beak; the other carved as a goose biting on a spray of kaki fruits; the third in a form of a lotus pod, all three carved from pale celadon stones with occasional russet veining

There are some occasional nicks or bruises to the edges of the lotus carving, including two minute chips to one small leaf. The other two carvings are generally in good condition with some expected surface wear or light nibbling. The catalogue illustration is brighter than the actual colours of the stones.
