拍品描述
China, 1736-1795. The lotus root, paired with birds and blossoms, forms a symbolic composition conveying wishes for harmony, happiness, and fruitfulness in marriage. While this motif is well established in traditional Chinese art as a blessing for a joyful union and continued lineage, it is rarely encountered in jade.The brush rest is finely carved in openwork with the central rhizome issuing leaves and blossoms above turbulent waves, the two birds perched on the stem and a leaf, all richly detailed and meticulously incised.The stone is of a fine and elegant white color with cloudy and icy inclusions as well as few gray specks. With a meticulous polish overall, rendering an unctuous feel.Provenance: Marchant, London, 13 November 1972 (confirmed by Marchant via email on 21 July 2025, a copy of the email will be shared with the winning bidder upon request). A prominent European private collection, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Condition: Superb condition with only minor age-related wear and a tiny chip to one bird's beak. The stand with a few small losses. This exceptional state of preservation is particularly remarkable given the highly fragile nature of the piece.Weight: 167.9 g (excl. stand) Dimensions: Length 18.1 cmWith a fitted hardwood stand dating from the Qing dynasty, finely carved in the form of crashing waves.
