AN AGATE SPILL VASE

QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

HEIGHT (INCLUDING BASE): 12.3CM

The spill vase is naturalistically carved from an agate pebble in the shape of a cabbage with its leaves gently curled outwards. The agate colour is pale tan coloured with white inclusions and rests on a lacquered softwood base which is decorated in openwork with a scrolling double gourd design.
