A LARGE CHINESE SPINACH-GREEN JADE MARRIAGE BOWL
18TH/19TH CENTURY
The rounded sides carved to the exterior with a continuous lotus scroll, the two handles formed as pierced butterflies with their open wings resting on the slightly incurved mouthrim, each handle suspending a loose ring, the interior decorated in relief with a spray of peony and lingzhi, all raised on six short ruyi-head shaped feet, the green stone with black inclusions and areas of lighter and darker mottling, with a paper label for Spink & Son Ltd to the base, 30cm.
Cf. Christie's New York, 18th September 2003, lot 114 for a marriage bowl with similar decoration.
