Two Chinese Carved Jade Censers, Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the two round vessels in a mottled celadon jade, one with an archaistic taotie motif across the surface and a pair of kui dragon lugs, and the other with three flower-form handles each suspending a carved jade ring, each censer with a carved wooden stand, h. 1-1/4", dia. 4-1/8" and h. 3-1/4", dia. 8". Provenance: The estate of Violeta Judell van Ronzelen.

In overall good condition. Larger vessel has a small cut groove on the lip (1/4"). Some accretions along the foot where it joins the body of the larger piece. Brown and whitish inclusions and a few pin-sized nicks along the rim. Some internal naturally-occurring pressure cracks along the mouth of the larger piece. The smaller vessel is mostly dark green with a few whitish inclusions. The appearance of each vessel is consistent with age, material and display. Neither shows evidence of restoration.
