Lot Essay

The restrained use of decoration in the present lot effectively shows off the ideal beauty of the stone. The floral shape of the stand is characteristic of the artistic repertoire of the period, most commonly found on Mughal-style jades.
See a rare pair of wine cup and stands of identical shape sold in our New York Rooms, 24-25 March 2011, lot 1506.
