* Tea as a Cultural Tapestry: The Sophistication of Yongzheng Era Tea Culture
In the Yongzheng era, tea was a symbol of culture and a medium of social grace. It wasn't merely a beverage but a reflection of one's cultural depth and sophistication. People gathered over tea to discuss literature, art, and philosophy, showcasing their knowledge and cultural tastes.
The era was marked by an evolution in tea culture, where brewing techniques, etiquette, and appreciation of tea's subtleties became an art form. A well-brewed cup was a testament to one's refinement. Tea tasting transcended mere drinking; it was about appreciating the aroma, color, and flavor, each sip a statement of cultural appreciation.
Tea ceremonies often included exquisite porcelain, symbolizing a blend of utility and artistry. Each piece of porcelain wasn't just a vessel for tea; it was a canvas showcasing artistic mastery, a subtle nod to one's appreciation of finer things.
An interesting anecdote from this era illustrates this cultural phenomenon: A famous scholar, known for his tea gatherings, once remarked that understanding a person's character was as simple as observing their choice in tea and porcelain. He believed that the tea one chose and the way they handled their cup offered insights into their personality and cultural sophistication.
Thus, in the Yongzheng era, tea culture was not just a pastime but a cultural barometer, gradually permeating through various social strata. It became a subtle yet profound indicator of taste and elegance, weaving itself into the fabric of Chinese culture and leaving a lasting impact on future generations.

18th Century Qing Dynasty Fish Shaped Cricket Holder
Located in Incline Village, NV
Uniquely fabulous and highly unusual item for those seeking something different; this 18th century "cricket holder" from the Qing Dynasty is in the shape of a fish and is made of hand wrought metal, with nice detail and an open woven body which provided air to the cricket. A sophisticated clasp locking mechanism on the underneath of the fish kept the pet cricket contained in the caged holder. Obviously this was intact when someone at some point in time tried to remove whatever was inside by making a hole at the base of the tail to get it out (see image). This hand held cricket cage holder is in very nice and all original condition, save for the small hole; not fragile in any way; sturdy in structure with no repairs.
For over 1000 years the Chinese have used crickets...

Set of Three Chinese Qing Dynasty Jade Bangles
Located in Chicago, IL
Valued for its rarity and lustrous appearance, jade (yù) has long been a symbol of excellence, longevity and purity of virtue. Worn as jewelry or as a protective charm, the stone was believed to imbue a person with a clear mind and pure spirit, and to guard against evil spirits and illness. To this day, if a jade bangle is broken during use, it's thought that the jade protected the wearer by absorbing incoming negative energy or harm. For many, jade bangles are also cherished family heirlooms, worn from a young age to represent the enduring bonds to their ancestors and loved ones.
This jade bangles in this set of three date to the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) and display a lovely range of colors and forms. The group includes one bangle of pale celadon jade, one of black jade, and one of celadon jade. Each bracelet is slightly unique, the pale celadon and black jade examples carved with straight sides and the celadon example carved in relief with an archaistic dragon winding through clouds.
