Description:
Clean and warm white jade. The bowl is carved into a round bowl with shallow mouth and belly. The bottom of the bowl is carved with a flat poppy flower, four overlapping petals, and a flat chrysanthemum in the center. The petals are very dense. Around it, there is a circle of sweet potato leaves. From the lower part of both sides along the abdominal wall, stretch the acanthus vera leaves up to the mouth edge and fold them, and then hang a bud below. The two sides of the table with double handles are symmetrically decorated with gold colored flower bouquets, but most of them have changed color. After careful observation, it is found that there are some gold colors left on the inner wall, and there are serious cracks on both sides of the handle. The gold color on the outer wall is painted to cover the cracks.
