A PALE GREENISH-WHITE JADE QUADRILOBED CENSER AND COVER
Qianlong/Jiaqing
The lobed body raised on four truncated supports and obscured by ruyi-inspired panels well carved in high relief below four bats carved on the high shoulder around the quadrilobed opening, the ribbon-like ends of their spread wings overlapping and the two bats at the ends surmounting loop handles suspending loose rings, the domed cover of conforming outline surmounted by a celestial pearl nestled in a bed of petal lappets surrounded by fanciful vapor, the fifth bat of the wufu carved in flight on the underside of the cover, the semi-translucent stone of even pale greenish-white color and well polished
8 3/8in. (21.2cm.) long, wood stand
