A WHITE JADE ARCHAISTIC
VASE AND COVER
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
12º in. (31.5 cm.) high, hardwood stand, cloth box
$250,000-350,000
The present vase is representative of the taste of
the Qianlong Emperor most notably for its large
size and even white tone. The appetite for white
jade reached a climax during the mid-reign of
the Qianlong Emperor with the supply of jade
coming as a direct result of his desire for it. This
supply came in the form of tributes primarily from
the Khotan. Compare to another Qianlong white
jade vase with identical phoenix handles from the
Collection of Sir Quo-Wei Lee II sold at Sotheby’s
Hong Kong, 8 October 2019, lot 110.
