About the Item

An Incredible and Rare 19th Century Chinese Nephrite Spinach Jade Hand-Carved Arrow Vase with its Original Carved Wood Base. Nephrite is one of the two distinct minerals commonly known as jade. Nephrite is derived from lapis nephriticus (Latin for "stone of the kidneys"), for the traditional belief in its power to heal the kidneys and body. This vase, dating back to the 18th century, is an exceptional representation of the artistry of its time. 18th/19th century jade pieces of this quality and rarity are indeed a remarkable find, attesting to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic finesse of the era. Crafted from nephrite spinach jade, this vase is a treasure in itself. Its narrow, arrow-shaped top is adorned with hand-carved leaves, adding a touch of botanical elegance to the piece. The body of the vase features intricate, high-relief floral decorations that further elevate its visual appeal. The level of detail achieved in this hand-carved design reflects the skilled hands that brought this jade masterpiece to life. The original carved wood base adds to the charm of this vase. Meticulously hand-carved with open-work and a pierced design, the base not only provides a stable foundation for the vase but also serves as a work of art in its own right. This exceptional combination of nephrite spinach jade and a finely crafted wood base makes this vase a unique and remarkable piece that showcases the delicate artistry of 18th-century Chinese craftsmanship. This piece is from an important collection or museum and has inventory numbers on both the vase and the base. China, Circa: 19th century and/or earlier
