A CRYSTAL CARVED ‘LOTUS LEAF’ WASHER <br/>EARLY QING DYNASTY
This crystal washer has been carved in the shape of a lotus leaf that is twisted upwards in such a way as to create an enclosed space that can hold water. The inner walls of the pot are smooth and shiny; on the outer surface, lotus leaves carved in relief radiate out from the calyx at the base. The piece as a whole has a brilliant luster; besides the realism of the carving, the piece has a unique visual appeal as a refined ornament. The washer comes with its original lotus leaf shaped stand.
