Description from the seller
Absolutely Fantastic Archaistic-Style Jade Celadon-Glazed Lid Vase from China, 19th/20th Century.
Chinese decorative vase with lid, entirely carved in jade (nephrite) of a light celadon-green tone with patina and natural brownish oxidation veins. Archaistic design inspired by ancient ritual bronzes. The lid is crowned by a detailed three-dimensional sculpture of a Fu Dog (guardian lion) and features a side handle with a small movable ring. The flattened oval body displays symmetrical reliefs with Taotie mask motifs and a vertical pattern of banana-leaf motifs on the neck. Flanked by two handles in the form of heads of mythical creatures, each holding a functional loose ring. Interior hand-carved with visible marks of traditional workmanship. Smooth oval base with no marks.
Excellent condition. Morphologically complete piece, retaining all original loose rings intact and functional.

Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
