Ritual Cup In White Jade Celadon.china Qing Period 18th Century.
Cup with handles cut from white Celadon jade. Decorated with “nails” in relief in the archaic style. The two handles stand out widely from the cup. The handles of this type of cup were most often damaged and restorers have partially reduced or even completely eliminated them. The one presented here has exceptionally preserved its handles in their entirety. One of the two has probably been slightly damaged and ground as we can see in the photos. The studding design appears simple but is technically complex. The finish is neat. The top of the handles is incised with a pattern whose meaning escapes us. 104x27mm Good condition. Beautiful velvety appearance. Uniform white celadon color. Chinese work from the 18th century or earlier.
