A PALE CELADON JADE ARCHAISTIC RHYTON
19TH CENTURY
The well-hollowed vessel emerges from a beast’s head with the antlers
forming the foot. It is carved and undercut to one side with a clambering
chilong looking at a small faming pearl which rests on the rim. The exterior
is carved with a monster mask to the front section surrounded by archaistic
scrolls. The stone is of an even tone.
