The exterior of each bowl finely carved in shallow relief with shou characters on the facetted sides, each character framed by a pair of tied half-palmettes below the mouth rim, further decorated with a band of ruyi-heads encircling above the short circular foot ring; each of the well-matched octagonal covers similarly decorated with the shou characters radiating around the everted circular finial, the semi-translucent stone of even tone suffused with white speckles (rim chip to one cover)
5 1/2 in. (13.9 cm.) across (2)

It is rare to find octagonal bowls carved with conforming covers using such good quality and well-matched white jade material. Circular bowls are the most popular form chosen to limit the wastage of the material.
