拍品专文

Although Chinese models of cranes for export to the West were made in fairly large numbers from the middle of the 18th Century onwards, fine-quality models such as the present lot were indeed rare. Three cranes, very similarly modelled and decorated, are in the Collection of M. et Mme. René Grog-Carven in the Musée Guimet, Paris.
