A very fine white jade incense-tool vaseQianlong Deftly carved rising from a short splayed foot to an ovoid body surmounted by a long tapering, cylindrical neck with galleried rim, the body exquisitely carved in low-relief around the exterior with archaistic designs of confronted stylised chilong, the stone of even pale white tone, wood stand. 11.2cm (4 1/2in) high (2).Footnotes:清乾隆 白玉雕仿古螭龍紋香插Provenance: a Swiss private collection來源：瑞士私人收藏Incense-tool vases would be used to contain implements such as metal chopsticks and spatula which would have been used to prepare incense on sand contained in an incense burner. In contrast to much Chinese jade carving in the 18th century, which was characterised by decorative high-relief carving, the Qianlong emperor commissioned a large number of jades which were inspired by the forms and designs of antiquity. Jade carvers were encouraged to move away from the 'new style' by studying archaic bronze vessels in the Qing Court Collection or in illustrated woodblock prints, and adapting them to the medium of jade. Inspired in its decoration by archaic bronzes, the present lot epitomises this trend. See for example, a related white jade incense tool vase with archaistic taotie pattern, but with a pair of handles, Qing dynasty, illustrated in the Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade, 10, Beijing, 2011, p.149.Compare with a slightly larger (14.5cm high) white jade archaistic bottle vase, Qianlong, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 April 2010, lot 1882.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.Y Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
