336.55mm H x 361.95mm W ( Stand): 2-1/8" H Weight: 10.4 kg The generous spinach-green jade each carved in shape of a caparisoned standing figure of an elephant, with white-celadon jade tusks, with its hump covered with gilt bronze cloisonne blanket carrying GU shape vase with an inverted neck and flared rim candle holder on its back, glazed in coral-red with famille rose details on the howda. The elephant is sometimes shown carrying a "treasure" vase (bao ping) on its back. Since the word "vase" (ping) has the same pronunciation as the word for "peace" (Ping'an), the implied meaning is "may you have 'good luck' (elephant) and 'peace' (vase)". Elegantly presented upon carved Zitan wood rectangular pedestal stands. A portion of this high-grade green Jade is considered quite rare. The composition is sophisticated and the Jade colors and vivid cloisonne works are simply a feast for the eye. Condition In EXCELLENT condition over all. All lots are sold as is and where is.
