A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE CELADON JADE 'DRAGON' WASHER 17TH / 18TH CENTURY carved from a single boulder, skillfully utilizing the stone's rhythmic shape to create a powerful design of five writhing five-clawed dragons amid swirling clouds, an inclusion in the stone artfully used to form a 'flaming pearl' that appears to glow in the interior of the well-hollowed receptacle, supported on a base carved as radiating waves with four mountains at the edges, the clever use of the yellowish-green stone's brown skin and opaque beige inclusions heightening the depth and three-dimensional effect of the design Height 5 1/2 in., 14 cm
