Chinese Republic Period Carved Amethyst Quartz Vase with Cover
About the Item
This urn, while archaistic in shape, generally is far more typical of 18th and 19th century specialty carved hardstone vases. The carving in rich veined amethyst quartz was done circa 1930-1940 and is dominated on the lid with a Kylin or mythical beast that in Chinese culture represents good luck and prosperity. The lid its self is ribbed and rests on the top of the urn between two further Kylin heads holding in there mouth loose rings. The main body of the vase is covered in Taotie masks in a stylized form. The foot of the urn, as well as the shoulder above the main body, are carved with lambrequins inset with traditional Chinese repetitive patterns often found on ancient dynastic bronzes. The carving is deep and well executed with a fine high sheen polish creating a rich decorative object. This work in conjunction with the stones beautiful striations and modeled surface are effective in the creation of a singular piece of the lapidary art and a testament to the long tradition of this art form in Chinas history. The vase sits on a nice carved- to -fit block form rosewood base.
