QING DYNASTY |

Of compressed globular form adequately but not extensively hollowed with a flat lip above the wide protruding foot, finely carved with a continuous scene of two beauties taming its domesticated dog on a leash amidst a luscious garden, the reverse with a flowering sprig growing from the edge of a convoluted rock with patches of russet extenuating the meticulous details of the design. |
