A FINELY CARVED WHITE JADE FACETED

QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
The hexagonal body is finely carved around the sides with
a wide central band and two narrow bands of archaistic
decoration, all between bowstring borders. The waisted neck
is flanked by a pair of scroll handles suspending loose rings,
and the cover has a flared, faceted finial. The semi-translucent
stone is of warm white tone and is softly polished.

PROVENANCE:
Stephen Junkunc, III (d. 1978) Collection.

Hexagonal jade vases and covers of Qianlong date appear to
be quite rare. A taller white jade example (32 cm.), also finely
carved, but with Hindustan-style decoration rather than the
archaistic decoration of the present vase, is illustrated by
Yang Boda (ed.), A Romance with Jade: From the De An Tang
Collection, Beijing, 2004, p. 71, no. 31, which was previously
sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 October 2000, lot 673.
