Chinese Carved Jadeite Boulder Grotto on Hardwood Stand, 20th Century, China
About the Item
A fine Chinese carved grayish white and green jadeite (fei cui) boulder with a mountain and grotto scene, presented on a fitted carved nanmu hardwood stand, mid to late 20th century, China.
The boulder is comprised of a single large and dense specimen of jadeite (fei cui) of overall pale gray to white, with an attractive vein of bright green. The boulder is carved and pierced with a mountain grotto scene, and features a nice polish.
In the foreground, a small boat carries a learned sage and his disciple through crashing waves to a grotto sheltered by a gnarled pine tree and a stand of tall bamboo.
Behind them, craggy peaks rise to form a high range dotted with a mountain retreat to one side, and pagoda roofed pavilions to the front and back. A flock of cranes fly in a V formation across the tops of the peaks.
The carved jade boulder is presented on a hand carved and fitted hardwood stand of prized nanmu. The heavily carved stand features several of the same motifs as the boulder, including pine trees and crashing waves. Lingzhi, the fungus of immortality, is also present. An inscription in ink to the top.
The boulder and stand feature images related to longevity and immortality. In Chinese culture, the pine tree, crane, and lingzhi fungus are all symbols of long life.
The boulder displays evidence of both hand and machine carving. The stand is hand carved.

Located in Richmond, CA
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound. The Pixiu is vividly depicted, complete with water flowing from its mouth and eyes that bulge with mythical intensity. Pixiu is considered a creature of wealth and is believed to have the power to attract and protect its owner's fortunes. It is often used in Feng Shui for this purpose. Pixiu figures are often used as talismans or ornaments to attract wealth and good fortune.
The square mound itself serves as a canvas for archaic decorations, featuring stylized dragons that are intricately carved into the detailed ground. These dragons not only add aesthetic appeal but also imbue the piece with historical and cultural significance, linking it to ancient Chinese traditions and folklore.
What elevates this seal further is the material's yellow hue, which displays characteristics of the highly prized field yellow "Tian Huang...
