A Collection of Four Carved Green Jade Decorative Objects.
A collection of four hand-carved jade decorative objects of Chinese style, likely dating from the late 20th century. The collection includes:
A carved jade elephant figure of vibrant apple-green colour, depicted with a raised trunk and standing on a separate black-toned oval base. The stone exhibits a high degree of translucency and a polished, waxy luster.
A miniature jade teapot and lid carved from a light celadon green stone with visible white and dark inclusions. The teapot features a globular body, curved handle, and a short spout, finished with a soft polished sheen.
A traditional Chinese nested puzzle ball or 'Happiness Ball', consisting of multiple concentric, independently rotating spheres carved from a single piece of pale celadon stone. The outer sphere is decorated with deeply carved traditional motifs, resting on a red-stained turned wooden stand.
A smaller carved jade nested puzzle ball of sage green stone showing natural internal fracturing and crystalline inclusions. The outer layer features geometric circular piercings to reveal the inner spheres, resting on a red-stained turned wooden stand.
Height of elephant: 5.5 cm.
Height of teapot: 5 cm.
Diameter of large ball: 5.5 cm.
Diameter of small ball: 3.5 cm.
More Information
The collection is in generally good condition. The elephant figure shows no visible chips or cracks (photo 4). The teapot displays minor surface wear and natural stone pitting (photo 3). The large puzzle ball shows no visible losses to the intricate carving (photo 1). The small puzzle ball exhibits significant internal fracturing and surface abrasions around the circular apertures, which appear consistent with the carving process or natural stone inclusions (photo 2).
