Description:
A very rare and important Chinese white jade reticulated Perfumier, Qing Dynasty, 18th century, the perfumier is carved in openwork as a circular band with interlocking T-shaped frets, with the exterior carved in low relief with archaistic C-shaped scrolls. The stone is of an even white tone. A four-character Qianlong nian zhi mark is incised on the interior of one lower edge. An almost identical perfumier, with fitted zitan stand and cover, sold at Christie's New York, 23/9/2022, for $63,000 Usd. A green jade perfumier of slightly larger size, carved with very similar archaistic scrolls, previously in the Qing court collection, is illustrated in the complete collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: jade Ware (III), Hong Kong, 1995, p. 50, no. 39. Another reticulated greenish-white jade perfumier of similar size, but with plain T-shaped interlocking elements and similarly carved conforming zitan cover and stand, also from the Qing court collection, is illustrated by Yang Boda in Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji (the complete collection of Chinese jades), vol. 6, Hebei, 1994, p. 53, no. 85, fig. 1. 5.5 cm diameter, 3.5 cm high
