Lot Essay

This pair of covered bowls is thinly carved to convey the transluscent and even quality of the stone, and is examplary of simple but high quality jade objects made with an emphasis on geometric forms. The beauty of the material is highlighted and enhanced by the perfect mastery of the craftsmen's techniques.
