拍品专文

Jades carved in the style of archaic bronzes were especially popular in the Qing court during the 18th century. There are several known Qing examples of archaistic jade rhytons supported on mythical birds or beasts. One example is in the Von Oertzen collection of Chinese jades, illustrated by S. Howard Hansford, Jade: Essence of Hills and Streams, London, 1969, p. 136, no. D28; another is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Jadeware (III), Hong Kong, 1995, p. 169, no. 137.
