Suzhou school, late Qing dynasty
Very well-hollowed, of compressed globular form with a
slightly waisted neck, subtly recessed rim and foot, finely
carved to one side in relief presumably depicting Wang
Xizhi and an attendant with geese under an arching pine,
reversed with a pine and rocks, the carving details carefully
designed to best utilize the natural color variations of the
matrix, dominated with charcoal black and cast with white
and gray.
