SONG DYNASTY (960-1279)

It is rare to find an agate vessel from the Song dynasty. Compare to an agate floral-lobed bowl from the Robert Ellsworth Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, 19 March 2015, lot 597; and an agate flower-form cup stand from the collection of Jacques and Galila Hollander, Belgium, sold at Christie’s Paris, 11 December 2013, lot 27.
