PAIR OF UNDECORATED SMALL BOWLS.

18th century, China. Nephrite: Uniform pale yellowish-green. Inscription: A six-character Qianlong Reign mark in seal-script form on the base, in three lines of two characters each. Smaller in dimension, and with a slightly more bulbous profile, these undecorated bowls have a similar sturdy and neat foot rim, everted lip, and low polish. They are of the type found from the late Qianlong period up through the early years of the 20th century. The elegance of the profile and quality of material mark these as Qing, and if not of the Qianlong period itself (as indicated by the carefully executed inscription), surely they were produced shortly thereafter. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 2.25″ x 4″. (5.7 x 10.2 cm.) CONDITION: One bowl with tight vertical hairline. Otherwise good. 9-94996 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 42
