A WHITE JADE ‘GOOSE AND LOTUS’ WATER COUPE
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
The coupe is delicately carved with the body of the goose forming the water vessel, the feathers of the
wings and the tail are decorated in an archaistic fashion with squared scrolls and c-scrolls. The feathered
coiled neck of the goose forms the handle of the coupe, and the beak is carved holding a lotus bloom which
rests on the rim. The stone is of an even white tone.
