Jade Plaque Inscribed with Poem, 1900
About the Item
This dark green (almost black) nephrite jade pendant is inscribed with a brief poem about spring. The text — 泛好 红时春 万辰 风 象翠沐 新绿 雨 — which would appear to be an ode to the cleansing, rejuvenating power of rain in the fresh green of spring. The tablet was skillfully etched with this poem and encircled by a border. The reverse side is inscribed with what I believe to be irises, which would make sense since they are associated with spring in Chinese symbology.
The plaque features an Art Nouveau theme as well as design elements from this era and I believe it was created around the turn of the previous century, circa 1900. It measures 59.79mm by 39.59mm and is 6.52mm thick. It's a substantial piece but it's not too large to be a pendant. I, however, have enjoyed having it just sitting here beside me while I work.
The jade is a fine dark green and could almost —but not quite— be considered black jade. The hand-inscribed text, patterning, and designs are all gilded with copper leaf. There are a couple of small abrasions on the edge which are insignificant.
The plaque has a simple handmade silver bail but you could have your jeweler replace this with a finer bail if you wish.
This pendant ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is natural, untreated nephrite jade.
