A YELLOW JADE 'LOTUS' BRUSHWASHER
18th centuryCarved as a ribbon-tied bouquet of lotus and millet, the two largest lotus leaves with curled edges forming the water receptacles, interspersed with lotus blossoms and millet ears, a naturalistically carved frog, water snail and dragonfly adding elements of whimsy to the design, the details of the leaves and petals all finely incised, the evenly-colored stone with white inclusions and traces of the russet skin. 6in (15.2cm) long
注脚
十八世紀 黃玉雕束蓮筆洗The outline of the washer likely conforms to the shape of the jade pebble and the rarity of yellow jade is evidenced by the way the brown skin has been retained in an effort to maximize the usage of the stone. The skill of the carver is displayed by the inward furling edges of the leaves and the fine incising of the details, which although carved from jade, give the washer a sense of delicacy and softness.
