A FINE CHINESE PALE CELADON JADE GU VASE, Qing Dynasty, carved in archaic style with pointed leaf tips and panels enclosing taotie masks, 27.3cm high, on a carved and silver wire inlaid hardwood oval stand, 9cm wide x 4cm high. The exceptionally fine "eggshell" nature of the present vase may be compared to the so-called Mughal jades produced in the reign of Qianlong. The comparison also extends to the archaistic carved ornament and the soft polish associated with jades produced in the 18th century. Provenance: A noble European collection.
