A PAIR OF CARVED JADE BOWLS
Qianlong marks, 20th century
The very thin compressed inverted bell-form side walls surrounding
the interior wells centered by raised-relief lotus and ruyi shaped
roundels, the exteriors incised in raised relief to depict continuous
figural tableaux of bodhisattvas standing and seated upon lotus
leaves floating serenely on churning waves and separated by an
assembled group of auspicious emblems drawn from both Han and
Vajrayana Buddhist traditions, the recessed bases bearing the four-
character Qianlong nian zao marks incised in gilt within a square
cartouche; the stone of translucent spinach hue streaked in veins of
black inclusions.
