Eleven exemplary eighteenth century Chinese Jades:

1. A White Jade 'Lingzhi' Washer

18th century

Formed as a hollowed lingzhi head, the interior rim embellished with two bats in high relief. The foot cunningly formed by the stem entwined with a smaller lingzhi branch, with small parallel opaque inclusions used to represent the growth rings of the fungus. The washer is made of finely polished, unctuous, mutton-fat white material.

12.2 cm. (4 3/4 in.) wide
