Jade Teapot Sculpture  

QianLong Era of Qing Dynasty

Dimensions (cm): L 15.5 x W 7.5 x H 9.0

Weight：1,579 carats

This exquisite jade teapot sculpture was made by the Imperial Workshop of Qing Dynasty between 1736 and 1795 during Emperor QianLong’s reign, according to historical records. The piece of jade is green with a slight hue of blue in color, with extraordinary smoothness in texture. The craftsmanship was also magical, giving this teapot a detachable lid that is inseparable from the teapot through a series of chain links, all carved from one single piece of stone.

Today, there exist four know artworks of fine jade teapots made by the Imperial Workshop while QianLong was the emperor. One is kept in BeiJing, China. One belongs to an art collector who resides in Geneva, Switzerland. The other two are in the hands of two unspecified western art collectors.
