A JADEITE TRIPOD CENSER AND COVER
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The compressed globular censer is raised on three cabriole legs emerging from lion-form masks, the sides are flanked by a pair of lion-mask form handles suspending loose rings. The cover is surmounted by a finial carved as openwork peonies. The semi-translucent stone is of a mottled apple-green tone with some orange-russet inclusions incorporated into swirling clouds.
