Description
A QING DYNASTY CELADON AND RUSSET JADE 'MANDARIN DUCKS AND LOTUS'GROUP
Light celadon color jade with russet inclusions, smooth surface polish
China, Qing Dynasty
This auspicious jade group of two mandarin ducks and lotus symbolizes a happy and loving family life. This subject became highly popular in the later Ming dynasty but remained cherished throughout the Qing reign as well. In this example we see the ducks both holding the same lotus flower stem in their beaks and in tender embracement.
Shape: Figural shape with reticulated areas
Dimensions: 6 cm (height), 9,3 cm (length), 5 cm (width)
Condition: Good condition with fine hand patina
Provenance: American private collection
Literature comparison: Sotheby's, FINE CHINESE CERAMICS & WORKS OF ART, 06 NOVEMBER 2013, LONDON, lot 36 (for a comparable group, slightly larger in size).
See a very similar group, included in the exhibition Chinese Jades from Han to Ch'ing, Asia House Gallery, New York, 1980, cat. no. 87.
