A CHINESE WHITE JADE FINGER CITRON ORNAMENT

拍品描述

Crafted from fine creamy-toned Hotan white jade, the finger citron carving itself measures 8 x 6 x 12 cm, reaching an overall height of 16 cm with its fitted stand and weighing 461 grams. Curved, tapering fruit lobes mimic natural finger citron growth, with twisting foliate tendrils sculpted around the base; faint warm russet skin spots lend organic authenticity. The jade possesses a silky, glossy polish and smooth, even texture. It rests upon an intricately open-carved hardwood stand shaped like gnarled foliage. Embodying classic auspicious symbolism of blessings and longevity, this refined lapidary piece makes a distinguished desk ornament for curated collections of Chinese naturalistic jade carvings.
