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.)

I bought this clock many years ago and it was New, Old Stock at the time. In fact somewhere I should have the original box for it. But, do not hold me to it as I have no idea where it actually is.
The Heuer Racing Clock is a dashboard chronograph that was first introduced in 1963. The clock was designed by Jack Heuer in collaboration with the Porsche design team. Jack Heuer wanted to create a clock that was both stylish and functional, and the Racing Clock was a huge success.
The Clock is housed in a large, 80mm diameter case that is made of durable stainless steel. The clock has a black dial with large, white numerals and hands that are easy to read at a glance. The clock also features a tachymeter bezel, which can be used to calculate speed and distance.

White and Russet Jade Lotus Leaf Finial
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
This finial, meant to adorn a lamp or a piece of furniture, is composed of eight waving, interlocked lotus leaves. Black, greyish, and russet jade was popular during the Ming Dynasty due to the scarcity of jade sources. Artists used the available jade to create interesting art.
The lotus symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. The lotus leaf finial represents the idea of rising above the murky waters of life and achieving a state of grace and beauty, unaffected by the surrounding muck. It’s a powerful symbol in both in Buddhism and Hinduism.
