This is an exceedingly rare Chinese jade vessel, late Eastern Zhou (BC 400) to Han Dynasty (1st century), very large and heavy, about 27 cm tall and 16 cm wide. It is beautifully engraved with Beast face (Tiao Tie), Phoenix Pattern, and triangle Cicada signs all over the body and lid. It is a very convincing antique as it carries smooth but deeply encrusted soil. Please come and take a look in person.
