About the Item
This nice pair of carved lidded urns are made form Bowenite which is considered a semiprecious stone and thought to resemble jade. They were carved in the mid 20th century and come with accompanying rosewood stands of fine Chinese design. They are centered on the body front and back with singular Toe Tia masks recessed into lozenged shaped areas. The mask a stylized representation of a mythical beast has been used in China since ancient times. The urns are designed as a flattened rectilinear baluster typical of the late 18th and 19th centuries found in jade carving and in porcelain of the time. Running down the sides of the urns are raised and open work ribbons divided by handles with elephant heads. From the handles are loose suspended rings. The stone is very clear and uniform with only very slight color changes or inclusions. This makes them very translucent and reflective.

Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial
Located in Hudson, NY
This very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900. Done with an apocryphal feeling to honor the ancient past, the vase is beautifully rendered in low relief in bronze covering almost the entire body of the urn. The predominant features are the divided taotie masks that compose the swelling middle body of the vase and also at the corners of the upper section. Crisp but subtle, the casting is clearly handled with great attention to linear form. The patina is very nice and consists of a modeled golden brown with a slight but very lite Verdigris color. The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...
