Description

A (a) hanging vase with (b) cover made of jadeite in shades of light and emerald greens and organe, with a fitted (c) stand and carved (d) frame. A pair of dragons has the required pearl; the dragon on the obverse lacks the obligatory pearl. This and the style of the handles suggests the non-Chinese origin.
