Did you know?
Dragon handles are a design convention originating from Chinese drinking vessels of the Song period (960-1279) that later gained popularity in Central Asia, Iran, and Turkey. The present lot closely resembles a green jade cup dated 1420-1449 in the British Museum (registration number 1959,1120.1), which is well-documented in scholarly literature on jade cups and has a significant publication and exhibition history. This green jade cup is believed to have been crafted in a provincial Central Asian jade-carving workshop, possibly in Samarkand, as suggested by Ralph Pinder-Wilson and William Watson in their initial publication of the object. It likely imitated or was inspired by Chinese prototypes. The cup features a similar chilong-form handle, with the tail carved in low relief and trailing over the side, but it is executed in a style that is less distinctly Chinese compared to the present lot. Determining whether this chilong cup predates the present lot is challenging, as the influential chilong motif continued to be widely used in China throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.
