About the Item
This exquisite pair of celadon jade guardian lions hails from the early Republic of China period, a testament to the era's craftsmanship. The lions are intricately carved from high-quality celadon jade, a material revered for its subtle, pale green hue and translucency. Each lion is depicted in a traditional pose, exuding both regality and ferocity, as if poised to protect the space they inhabit.
The masterful carving captures the intricate details of the lions' fur, facial features, and muscular form, lending a lifelike quality to these guardian figures. The jade itself is of superior quality, its natural luster further accentuated by the meticulous carving.
These guardian lions serve not only as stunning decorative pieces but also as symbols of power, strength, and prosperity. They would make a distinguished addition to any collection of fine Chinese art or serve as a focal point in a space designed to reflect cultural richness and artistic mastery.

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...
