清十八 / 十九世紀 素三彩文玩四件

including a turquoise-glazed pair of quail; a small faceted green-glazed water pot with a chilong coiled around the rim; a large yellow, green and aubergine-glazed lotus leaf, and a small soft-paste, white glazed lion-form water dropper with wood stand (5)

The quail group displays numerous firing cracks and glaze imperfections, but appears to be in good overall condition. The waterpot is broken and repaired with losses to three of the chilong's legs. The amber-glazed cup has repaired breaks and overpaint on several areas around the rim. The snuff bottle lacks a stopper, but appears to be in good overall condition.
