About the Item
A Carved Celadon Jade Figure of a Recumbent Cat
China, Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) or later
Finely carved from a single piece of celadon jade with soft translucency and natural inclusions, this charming sculpture represents a recumbent cat, rendered in a stylized yet expressive manner. The feline is shown resting serenely, with its round head raised and its limbs tucked beneath its body. The incised facial features - wide circular eyes and a slight smile
- give the piece a gentle, animated presence.
The underside is worked with two perforations, suggesting it may have served as a toggle, pendant, or decorative fitting.
Dimensions: Approx. 5 cm long, 2 cm High
Condition: Good overall with natural veining, some surface marks consistent with age and
use.
Provenance: From a private European collection
In Chinese culture, cats are often associated with good fortune, peace, and warding off evil spirits, making this a piers of both aesthetic and symbolic value.
