Description:
|
Among the jade collection of the Qing palace, a group called Hindustan jades fascinated the Qianlong emperor, and he composed many poems to praise them.The term, "Hindustan," stands for "the earth of India". According to the Tianju wu Yindu Kaoer, composed in the 33rd year of the Qianlong era, Hindustan locates in northern India, which was part of the Mughal Empire. The jade carving industry flourished there, and the fine and elegant jades have a distinctive style. One characteristic of Hindustan jades is the application of floral motifs. Using this dish for example, it shows 24 petals, and the center is carved with a lotus. The exterior is decorated with a band of ranunculus in low relief, and the bottom resembles a blossoming eight-petaled flower. From the shape to decoration and from the interior to exterior, the flower is splendid, and manifests an air of charming refinement.
