Description

A CHINESE PALE CELADON JADE BRUSHWASHER
17TH CENTURY

The oval vessel hollowed as a large fruit with intertwining leafy branches which form the base and handle bearing small lychees, one side with a small chilong clambering up and resting its head on the rim, the pale greenish-white stone with areas of darker markings, with a wood stand, 13.5cm. (2)

Provenance: from the collection of Major Henry F Stanley MC (1911-1997). Major Stanley, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, was recruited from the Royal Automobile Club in London in 1957 to head and form the Hong Kong Tourist Association, retiring from his role as executive director in 1971. He was widely known as the 'Father of Hong Kong Tourism'.
