Antique Chinese Bat Carved Jade Earrings Rare Art Deco Art Nouveau Silver
About the Item
This is a delightful pair of antique Chinese Jade Earrings in the form of Bats. The very rare Jade earrings are each hand carved in the form of a winged Bat.
They are absolutely fabulous. In Chinese Mythology Bats are seen as benevolent because “fu,” the character for “bat,” is also the character for “good luck.” In addition, since bats dwell in caverns, which are also the passageway to the realm of the Immortals, they represent longevity, as well as fertility! The jade bat earrings date to the Art Deco to Art Nouveau period. The earrings have silver screw backs which can be easily converted if desired. The earrings have such delightful charm. I just love them.
The earrings are 22mm wide and 17mm tall.
The earrings have silver screw backs and can be easily converted to posts if desired.
Together the earrings weigh 4.5 grams.

Stanley George Morris Born 30 November 1919 Died 31 October 2010 Silversmith. Born in Handsworth, Birmingham. He was the son of the silversmith, James Morris who worked as an assistant to Georgie Gaskin between 1901-10. Stanley studied at the Vittoria Street School for Jewellers and Silversmiths and the Central School of Art under Bernard Cuzner. During the 1930s he was awarded the Messenger Prize, John Henry Chamberlain Silver medal prize, and two Goldsmiths Company Scholarships. Morris received early commissions from Bernard Cuzner, Cyrial Shiner, and for Birmingham Assay Office. Amongst these works were the Olympic Torch for the Goldsmiths Company to Bernard Cuzner’s design, which won them an honorary mention in the Olympic Arts Competition of the Olympiad 1948 and a Fluted Salt executed to Cyril Shiner’s design in 1951, commissioned by the Salters Company to mark the Festival of Britain. Over a lengthy career Morris executed many of his own designs for private, ceremonial and ecclesiastical silverware. Examples of his work were included in 'Birmingham Gold and Silver 1773-1973: an Exhibition celebrating the Bicentenary of the Assay Office', 28 July - 16 September 1973, Birmingham Art Gallery.
