📜 Description A striking Chinese archaic-style hardstone vase, carved in relief with a central taotie mask motif and
stylised lotus handles. The surface shows a rich malachite-green patina and mineral deposits,
evoking the aesthetic of ancient ritual bronzes.

Collector’s Notes: Such archaistic carvings were popular during the late Qing Dynasty, inspired by early Zhou and Han
bronzes. The taotie motif symbolised protection and reverence for ancestors, making it a recurring
theme in ritual and scholarly art.

🔍 Condition FAIR/RESTORED ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) – Small losses and a repair to the lid and lower body; surface wear and age
patination consistent with age. Please review the photos carefully for more details.
