Paired jadeite vases with openwork decorative motifs

With their soft green hue tinged with pale pink, this exquisite pair of jadeite lidded vases from the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) brings a breath of freshness to the summer heat.

The vases feature remarkable craftsmanship and grace, harmoniously blending delicate decorative patterns and translucent jade texture. Their lids have peach-shaped knobs. Openwork intertwining chrysanthemum motifs adorn the lids and bodies. Each handle on the neck holds a freely moving ring.
