清中期 白玉盤龍紋雙螭龍耳蓋瓶 Chinese. Of flattened hu form, with elaborate archaistic animal-head mask 'handles' flanking the tapered neck, the front and back of the body carved in relief with a sinuous five-clawed dragon pursuing a 'flaming pearl' among scrolling clouds, all on a low spreading foot, the cover carved with a seated dragon. Mid-Qing Dynasty period. 此瓶以上等玉琢成，玉質清冽，細膩溫潤，器身呈扁圓形，長頸，兩側飾雙螭龍耳，鼓腹，圈足，蓋鈕呈盤龍狀，傲立雄踞，望天吼嘯，靈動張揚，氣勢非凡。器身雙面浮雕飾正面龍紋，龍身矯健，蒼穹有力，張牙舞爪，氣勢雄渾。此瓶為陳設用器，優雅端莊，皇家氣韻十足。 來源：重要紐約私人玉器收藏
