About the Item
A monumental size (14kg) Chinese recumbent Tang Horse, circa mid to late 20th Century, possibly older. The sculpture is executed in Spinach Jade, a material highly prized for its deep green hue and symbolic significance. The horse is depicted in a laying-down posture.
The craftsmanship is of high calibre, evident in the meticulous detailing of the mane, hooves, and facial features. The anatomical accuracy and lifelike expression of the horse are indicative of the artisan's mastery over the medium.
One of the distinguishing features of this piece is the presence of milky white rocky inclusions on the dorsal region of the horse. These natural inclusions are not only aesthetically pleasing but also add to this jade's uniqueness and value.
The surface of the sculpture exhibits a well-developed patina, further authenticating its vintage allure. Such patination is often considered a desirable trait in Chinese vintage works of art, as it adds a layer of textural richness and visual depth.

Large Chinese Natural Translucent Untreated Jadeite Flower Cat Birds Carving 20c
Located in Richmond, CA
This modern Chinese sculpture, standing at an impressive 10 inches on its stand, is a masterful representation of contemporary jadeite craftsmanship, particularly from the renowned Suzhou tradition. Carved from natural, untreated jadeite, the sculpture presents a captivating scene of a blooming flower, complete with two small birds perched atop and a preying feline lurking beneath the intricately carved canopy of leaves and petals.
The jadeite material selected for this piece is of exceptional quality, exhibiting a pale celadon green hue that is both translucent and rich in lustre, reminiscent of the finest examples of jadeite. The translucency of the material enhances the sculpture's visual appeal, allowing light to filter through and illuminate the delicate details of the carving, while the wet lustre finish adds a sense of depth and vibrancy to the piece.
The scene depicted is one of natural harmony and beauty, yet it is imbued with the dynamic tension of the natural world, as evidenced by the presence of the preying feline. This juxtaposition adds a layer of narrative depth to the sculpture, making it not just a decorative item but a work of art that tells a story.
Crafted with the fine modern techniques of Suzhou jadeite craftsmanship, this sculpture is a testament to the skill and artistry of contemporary jade carvers, who continue to uphold the rich traditions of Chinese jade carving...
