Bidspirit auction | Qing Dynasty Set of White

Qing Dynasty Set of White Jade Cup and Saucer - This elegant set, comprising a tea cup and its matching saucer, is masterfully crafted from white jade with an unctuous, translucent texture and a pristine hue. The set exemplifies the refined aesthetic and sophisticated tea culture of the Qing dynasty. The cup features a flared rim, a deep rounded body, and a short foot ring. The interior is expertly hollowed, resulting in walls of consistent thickness that highlight the jade's natural luminosity. The accompanying saucer is designed with a central recessed medallion to securely hold the cup, with its flaring rim polished to a silky finish. Left undecorated to showcase the intrinsic beauty of the stone, the set possesses a dignified and serene presence. The finely ground base and the subtle, natural luster of the surface mark this set as an exceptional record of mid-to-late Qing dynasty lapidary mastery.
