TWO WHITE JADE OVAL PLAQUES
20TH CENTURY
The smaller plaque is carved to one side with a lady and a boy observing the smoke billowing from a censer. The reverse is carved with a prunus branch beside the characters mei kai wu fu, which may be translated as 'the Five Happinesses arrive with the prunus blossom'. The larger plaque is carved with a lady seated by a table, with a poetic inscription ending with the signature Zigang to the reverse. Both stones are of an even pale tone.
The larger 2 in. (5.2 cm.) long
