PENTAGONAL PLAIN BRUSH WASHER.

19th-20th century, China. Nephrite: pale greenish-yellow with deep brown patches. Inscription: Apocryphal two-character Qianlong mark in seal script form on reverse. Hefty, simple, with a large opening, undercut lip, and shallow basin, this work is reminiscent, in its straightforward simplicity, of some later Ming jade carvings. Its nearest stylistic link, however, is to Qing agate works, a similarity enhanced by the variegated brown splotches occurring at irregular intervals around the surface. Them carving is unrefined, with a low overall polish. Reference: The Yangtze River Collection, Later Chinese Jades published by Helga Wall-Apelt, 1993. SIZE: 1.25″ x 6″ x 4.25″. (3.2 x 15.2 x 10.8 cm.) PROVENANCE: The Personal Collection of Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt. CONDITION: Variegated stone with fissures, nicely polished. 47671-104 (500-1,000) – Lot 3135

Auction: Fine Art, Asian & Antiques - Winter 2016
