During the Qianlong period, small jade carvings in the form of fruits, were very popular as fingering pieces. The present lot is exquisitely conceived both as an ornament and as a functional piece. Cf. a similar linked box and cover included in Chinese Jades from the Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, pl. 86.
