"Full Moon" Chinese Bi Disc

About the Item

Found in the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors and aristocrats, bi discs have a mysterious and spiritual history, and their function and significance remain uncertain. Thought to provide a conduit to the heavenly realm, bi discs are defined by their round, flattened shape and always carved of fine jade or dense hardstone. Polished with smooth edges and a glossy sheen, this contemporary bi disc is carved of a solid piece of pale green jadeite, selected for its beautiful translucency and subtle veining. The stone disc has a certain celestial quality, like the full moon aglow in the night sky. Set on a custom metal stand, the bi disc layers into modern interiors as tabletop sculpture with graphic shape and natural beauty.

Chinese Bamboo Cloth Teapot, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

Tea drinking has been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries, resulting in a wide range of social customs and material traditions. In addition to tea leaves, water, and heat, the art of drinking tea (chayi) calls for a variety of teaware and utensils - both practical and decorative. This charming teapot dates to the late Qing dynasty and is hand-carved from a hollow length of bamboo to appear as though parceled by a cloth strung with tassels. The teapot has a squat, rounded form and a dark brown finish, reminiscent of Yixing red clay teapots...

In addition to tea leaves, water, and heat, the art of drinking tea (chayi) calls for a variety of teaware and utensils - both practical and decorative. This charming teapot dates to the late Qing dynasty and is hand-carved from a hollow length of bamboo in the shape of a ripe pomegranate. The handle is carved to resemble a thin branch, which forks to either side of the teapot bearing long, slender leaves.
