A CELADON JADE CARVING OF A SAMPAN
QING DYNASTY (1644 - 1911)
The long, narrow vessel is carved with a helmsman holding the rudder at the stern, and two further figures each leisurely holding an oar which dips into the water. A fish and a fisherman's hat are placed on the rectangular awning which is finely incised to imitate woven rattan. There is a duck standing in front of the awning and further up a wine jug and a smaller sampan tied to the bow. The underside is carved with a 'yushufang jian cang bao' seal mark. The stone is of a soft celadon tone.
9 ¼ in. (23.5 cm.) long
