A FINE WHITE JADE 'FISH AND BOY' BOTTLE, A BULBOUS ROUNDED SQUARE WHITE JADE BOTTLE, TOGETHER WITH A SMALL EMERALD-FLECKED DARK-APPLE-GREEN JADEITE BOTTLE
the first two bottles: 1780-1840; the third bottle: 1800-1880
Of rounded rectangular shape, each side with a large ogival panel with raised line border, one delicately carved in relief with boy watching a butterfly and holding a musical stone in one hand, the other panel with a carp above a catfish amongst simply delineated wave scrolls and a leafy spray, below a cylindrical neck and supported on a short oval foot ring.
Of small rounded square shape, the attractive bottle undecorated on the main sides and well carved with lion-mask fixed-ring handles on the narrow sides below a rounded shoulder and a short cylindrical neck, supported on a short rounded oval foot ring.
Of small, elegant spade shape, very lightly carved in low relief to one narrow side with a leafy plant with four-petalled blossoming bud below a lingzhi spray that incorporates a darker flaw, the design extending to each main face, the stone of a most attractive semi-translucent tone with apple-green and emerald flecks throughout, with a simple flat oval foot.
