Smaller-scale jade and jadeite vessels such as the present lot were
frequently produced in sets of three to adorn the scholar’s desk:
typically an incense burner, a vase and a seal paste box. See for
example a jade set illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures
of the Palace Museum: Jadeware (III), Hong Kong, 2006, no. 71. The
present lot would likely have formed part of such a set together with
the following lot 8067.
