拍品描述

Chinese Lapis Lazuli Carved Vase H. 40 cm. A rich deep‑blue lapis lazuli vase finely carved in archaic bronze form. It features twin beast‑head handles suspending loose rings, with layered relief patterns including archaic taotie and scrolling floral motifs across neck, shoulder and bulbous body. Natural pale calcite inclusions are scattered throughout the vivid blue stone. Presented upon a fitted carved hardwood stand with geometric key‑fret ornament. Dimensions: Height 40 cm. Skillfully shaped and polished, this vase is a fine example of Chinese hard‑stone decorative carving.
