- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 19th century CE. A hand carved box beautifully crafted from zitan wood, with intricate openwork and a jade inlays. The vessel body is supported on pedestal feet with scalloped support beams. The projecting box lip contains openwork of scrolling shapes and Fu bats, a symbol of happiness and good fortune. The lid lifts off to reveal a flat interior with a short rim, and the bottom is lined with a silk cloth presenting a faint floral pattern. The sides of the lid have rounded edges, and the panels contain additional openwork with scrolling clouds and bats. The border around the top has fluted edges, and the same scrolling openwork with bats extends across the very top. The medallion inlaid at the center is a pale, nearly white nephrite jade stone. With utmost attention to detail throughout this piece, the underside also includes a near white nephrite jade stone seal with an inscription. A striking and ornate vessel featuring auspicious symbols to ensure good luck and prosperity. Size: 9.5" L x 9.5" W x 6.5" H (24.1 cm x 24.1 cm x 16.5 cm)
