Description:

A CHINESE NICELY CARVED DARK GREEN JADE LIDDED VESSEL, LATE QING DYNASTY LATE 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURY, of mottled shades of dark green with russet brown inclusions and compressed baluster form centering reticulated sides depicting a preening crane standing on stylized rockwork beneath the branches of an ancient pine shading auspicious lingzhi and leafy bamboo foliage continuing to crested birds foraging amongst blossoming prunus branches, beneath a sloped shoulder of shallow relief long leaves flanked by stylized lingzhi suspending loop handles and a fretwork rim, surmounted by a conforming pierced lid detailed as a phoenix clutching a flowering stem, raised on a custom silvered wire inlaid carved hardwood stand. NOTE: This jade lidded vase was formerly part of the Percy Straus Sr. collection and was probably one of the purchases made from world renowned Chinese art dealer C.T. Loo (1880-1957), in New York City. His clientele included members of the Rockefeller, Morgan, and a host of other elite families, as well as museums all over the world.
