TWO JADE ARCHAISTIC TABLE ARTICLES
MING DYNASTY (1368-1644)
One is a mottled grey jade cup with shallow, rounded sides carved on each side with rows of small bosses centered by a whorl-motif medallion and flanked by a pair of loop handles with a flat top and small angular hook at the bottom. The other is a small 'chicken bone' jade bixie-form water pot, with two horns swept back to the opening in the back and with a bifurcated tail. The base is carved with two characters, lu fu, in a panel, and the bottoms of the feet are notched.
4.15/16 and 2 ¾ in. (12.5 and 7 cm.) wide
