ROTUND BRUSH WASHER WITH DECOR OF HIGH-RELIEF IMMATURE DRAGONS.

20th century, China. Nephrite: pale yellowish-green (celadon) with brown patches. Like three other examples from this collection, the exterior of this massive (28 lb., 12 kg.) brushwasher features dragon decor. The sinuous, simple immature dragons crawl around and up the bowl, some with paws and snouts emerging at the otherwise plain edge. Overall, it is a far simpler work than other examples in this collection. The surface against which the dragons crawl is undecorated, although there are fungal-style low relief cloud forms at the top, and there is an overall high polish. Both the style and the material are reminiscent of the “hero vase” from this collection. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 6″ x 13.38″ x 11.25″. (15.2 x 34 x 28.6 cm.) PROVENANCE: The Personal Collection of Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt. CONDITION: Variegated stone with pronounced fissures on interior. Good overall. 47671-95 (15,000-25,000) – Lot 3104
