清乾隆/嘉慶 翡翠雕素碗
Provenance: an English private collection

來源：英國私人收藏
The present lot is extraordinarily rare and striking in the quality of the
stone with its exquisite even tone of mottled emerald green and is
finely polished. Combining the superb carving skills, particularly at the
foot and rim, the rarity of this feature strongly suggests its association
with the Imperial court.

Jade, London, 1995, p.182, fig.137.
