A Pale Celadon Jade Plaque with Russet Skin, 51AR
This elegant rectangular plaque is carved from pale celadon jade featuring dramatic natural russet and deep red?brown skin patches along its edge.

Traditional landscape carvings evoke tranquility, scholarly retreat and appreciation of natural beauty. The jade exhibits a soft pale green base tone, highlighted by vivid naturally occurring colour gradients across the stone. The relief work is precise and detailed, and the plaque is polished to a smooth, gentle lustre. Dimensions: 7 cm x 4 cm
