Lot Essay

The warm white marble (han bai yu) used to make this planter has acquired a mellow tone and soft patina over the centuries and its elegant, well defined lobed form is similar to that of other stone planters of Ming and Qing date that display garden rocks. The present lot may be compared to the large han bai yu planter sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 2016, lot 1120.
