Tall, oval cross-section, slightly tapering neck, raised footrim well-carved,
the nephrite jade white at the upper half, light brown beneath, the demarcation
similar to-- but softer than--that in "Harlequin Jade." Nicely hollowed,
soft polish all over in the old way, remnants of snuff inside, golden tiger-eye
stopper (probably not original, as is usually the case), ivory(?) spoon.
Late Qing Dynasty, c. 1900. See top
