89 An unusual jade vase 17th–18th centuries Height: 7B in, 18 cm supported on an oval, conical foot, the slender quatrefoil-section vessel has a gently rounded body and a tall, flaring mouth. Apart from the lobing, the jade is left entirely plain. The semi-translucent stone is a striated pale grey tone with a soft polish. Formerly in an English private collection. It is rare to find a vase of such plain form, as usually they have handles or other forms of ornamentation: see, for example, Nott, Chinese Jade throughout the Ages: A Review of its Characteristics, Decoration, Folklore and Symbolism, pl. XCVII, formerly in the Summer Palace, Beijing; and Zhongguo Meishu Quanji, Vol. 9, Jade, no. 315, p. 185, in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing.
90 A jade weight 18th century Length: 5G in, 13.7 cm after an archaic jade sword slide. One end curls under in a scroll and the other is more angular. The top is worked with rows of small bosses in low relief and with an archaistic monster mask to one end; narrow flanges surround the edges. The semitranslucent jade is an even white tone. Formerly in the collection of Erik Hancock. A Han slide, on which the form of this weight is based, is illustrated in Illustrated Catalogue of Ancient Jade Artifacts in the National Palace Museum, no. 311, p. 168. See Great National Treasures of China: Masterworks in the National Palace Museum, no. 53, p. 139, for a zitan inkstick rest inlaid with a similar weight, dated Ming; and note also Rawski and Rawson, China: The Three Emperors 1662–1795, no. 168, pp. 252–3, for scroll six of Guwan Tu (Pictures of Ancient Playthings), made for the Yongzheng Emperor and dated 1728, in the collection of the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, which includes a depiction of such a jade slide.
