About the Item
A pale, greyish-white jade three-legged toad is depicted in a crouching position on leaves and fruits. The toad has bulging eyes, finely-detailed eyebrow hair, a small nose, and a wide mouth. Its three legs end in fingers. The toad’s back is flat with a central spine and many circles. One leaf has a chip. Below the toad, there are leafy branches and two large fruits.
The three-legged toad is considered auspicious for good fortune and prosperity. The toad with leaves and fruits is a traditional and meaningful motif, embodying wishes for wealth, prosperity, and a large, flourishing family. The toad’s lifecycle—from egg to tadpole to mature toad—mirrors the concept of transformation.
The carving of the eyes, eyelids, and eyebrows on the toad are similar to this 17th century jade figure of a lion in the collection of the Victoria & Albert museum.

Superb Celadon Jade Boulder Mountain
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
This elongated triangular jade mountain stands on a wooden lacquer base. On the mountain, there are a total of five monkeys: two playing, one resting, and two others at the mountain’s peak, seemingly about to descend to investigate what is happening.
The stone’s side displays two bat Feng Shui symbols. (In Chinese, the bat is bianfu. Fu also means fortune.)
