AN IMPERIALLY INSCRIBED AND GILT PALE CELADON JADE TABLE SCREEN

The plaque is incised and gilt-decorated on one side with a stream running through a bamboo grove. The reverse is inscribed and gilt with an Imperial poem bearing the title, Yuti zhulin shanquan tu, ‘Inscribed by Imperial Command, bamboo grove by a river’, followed by the seals Suobao Weixian, ‘To recognise these as treasures of a wise man’, and Qianlong Yubi, ‘Imperially inscribed by the Qianlong Emperor’. All are framed within key-fret borders. The stone is of pale celadon tone with areas of inclusions, some of which are cleverly utilized to depict water ripples.
