A WHITE JADE ARCHAISTIC RECTANGULAR CENSER AND COVER
18TH CENTURY
The censer is carved on the two long sides with taotie masks reserved on a leiwen ground and divided
by notched fanges, which are repeated at the corners, all below a waisted neck decorated with circular
bosses, and is fanked at the ends by a pair of handles carved as dragons pulling themselves up to the rim.
The cover is carved with archaistic dragons separated by fanges below a rectangular knob carved at the
bottom with a rope-twist band and around the sides with lotus blossoms below a band of key fret. The
semi-translucent stone of greenish-white color has some opaque mottling.
