Footnotes

十八世紀青白玉雕萬壽菊八吉祥香薰

Provenance: Durwin Tang Collection

來源：鄧德雍收藏

The Eight Buddhist Emblems, believed to bring peace and blessings, became codified in the order listed during the Qianlong period. The present lot is likely to have been specially commissioned for religious rituals in the Qing Court or as a birthday gift endowed with auspicious wishes.

Compare two pale green jade incense burners also with open flower-head handles but with suspended loose ring-handles and pierced covers, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Jadeware (II) , Shanghai, 2008, pp.38-39, nos.30 and 31.
