Round with narrowing base

Part of the Round / oval family

Bonhams 141 and 163 · confirmed pair

Fullness higher on the body and curved sides narrowing downward.

Matching pair: Lots 141 and 163. This author confirmed this match across jadeite and carved glass. Compare the short straight neck, broad rounded shoulders, and sides narrowing toward a small base.

Separate outlines preserve each bottle’s proportions. These are manually drawn, approximate contour studies from the front photographs, with stoppers excluded—not precision measurements or proof of age.

Comparison visibility

Compare the contours

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.

The photographs are scaled for comparison, not actual size. Camera angle and edge visibility affect the outlines.

Rose: Lot 141

Green: Lot 163
