十七/十八世紀 青白玉雕瑞鳥銜桃擺件

See a similar jade carving of a bird with peach spray, early Qing dynasty, illustrated by A.Forsyth and B.McElney, Jades from China, Bath, 1994, no.324.
Condition
Seemingly free of restoration or repair and in apparent good general order.

Due to the mottled nature of the stone occasional very minor blemishes and chips where naturally occurring inclusions and striations make their appearance on surface. Some russet inclusions are utilised to good effect by carver to the main face of the group in highlighting branch work and peach skins.
