Corsican jasper bowl called "smalradite" resting on a doucin - Lot 132
Corsican jasper bowl called "smalradite" resting on a doucine foot. During the Louis XIV H. Era: 4. 5cm, L.: 9. 6cm Excessively rare, the smalradite also known as "verde di Corsica" found a favourable echo in Italy, among the Medicis, who used it for their chapel in Florence. In the 18th century, the goldsmith Valdier frequently used this stone, as did the reduction of the temple of Minerva, built around 1778 and kept at the National Museum of Archaeology in Madrid.
