Defined shoulder-to-neck transition and straighter body sides.

This author’s confirmed matching pair: Lots 145 and 164. Compare the straighter body sides and defined shoulder-to-neck transition across nephrite jade and overlay glass.

Aligned at the lip and base to the same height, with width scaled proportionally. Similarity belongs to the overall form; the sides, shoulder transition and foot are not identical.

Catalogue heights are shown separately and are not used as calibrated dimensions for the outlines. Camera angle and edge visibility affect the comparison.
