A Chinese lotus-shaped jadeite brush washer dating from the 19th century. It comes with a matching wooden stand. The dark green jadeite is carved into the shape of a large lotus leaf accompanied by a smaller leaf and a lotus bud. Upon the larger leaf are two tiny frogs. The underside of the washer is carved with plant stems which have a brown jadeite skin.

Dimensions are: 1 inches tall X 12 3/4 inches long X 9 1/2 inches wide, 2.5 cm X 32.4 cm X 24.1 cm. All measurements are approximate.

Condition: There is very minor chipping present on the stems and edges of the leaves, but the washer is in overall good condition with natural variation to the stone. The stand has some wear.
