拍品專文

The shou character on the finial of the cover might indicate that the present bowl may have been a special commission for a wedding or a birthday celebration. It has been mentioned that covered bowls of this type, known as lian, were used by Qing court ladies as cosmetic boxes.
A formal related jade bowl and cover, but the body carved in shallow relief, is in the Palace Museum Collection, Beijing, illustrated in Jadeware III - The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong 1995, p.242, no.198 ; while another example of that type of bowls was sold in our Hong Kong Rooms, 28-29 November 2005, lot 1645. For a further example of a covered jade bowl with loose rings suspending from the finial, see Christie's Hong Kong, Important Chinese Jades from the personal Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, 28 November 2006, lot 1389.
