Comments:Mughul jade jar from a spreading, petal-form foot, the depressed globular sides, from which two delicately worked and pierced handles in the form of acanthus flowers and leaves issue, rise to a stepped shoulder and terminate in a waisted neck. Two bands of garlanded florwers in shallow relief encircle the neck and shoulder and a further hand of upright leaves surrounds the foot. The base is worked as an open flower with a cross-hatched stamen. The extremely thin stone is a fine greyish-white tone with some grey markings and bears a high polish. For similar examples, see Jadeware (III): The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, no.237, p.285; Keene, Treasury of the World: Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals, no.9:18. p.117, Kerr, Chinese Art and Design: The T.T. Tsui Gallery of Chinese Art, fig. D, no. 89, dated 1770, Keverne, Jade, fig.29, p.288; and Lin, Jade: Ch’ing Dynasty Treasures, no.212, p.267
