HU WITH LOW RELIEF DECOR.

19th century, China. Nephrite: uniform, light greenish-yellow. This small hu exhibits greater respect for classical prototypes, with a softly-curving pear-shaped profile in the manner of the Eastern Zhou-early Han. Undramatic, vaguely dragon-like small-scale lugs or handles emerge at the neck zone, and the entire work is supported on a nicely-balanced discrete foot. The lip is gently shaped, matching the base of the work, and the incised and low-relief bands of traditional motifs are arranged horizontally about the work, with blade patterns at the foot and neck areas. There is no single striking design feature emerging from the work and the profile and the uniformly-colored material are much quieter. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 6.13″ x 2.25″ x 1.63″. (15.6 x 5.7 x 4.1 cm.) CONDITION: Very good. 9-95007 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 44

Auction: FAAA - Wall-Apelt Collection - March 2015

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
