A CHINESE HETIAN JADE TAIHU ROCK ORNAMENT

拍品描述

Standing 19 cm tall and weighing 270 grams, this elegant decorative piece replicates the organic form of classic Taihu scholar?s rock using fine Hetian jade with a smooth creamy pale hue. Openwork carving crafts abundant irregular cavities, jagged undulating contours and winding perforations that capture the naturally weathered texture of garden limestone. The jade formation is anchored atop a finely turned bulbous hardwood stand with rounded tripod feet, while subtle turquoise padding cushions the junction to prevent abrasion. Masterfully adapted traditional garden aesthetics through refined lapidary techniques, this sculptural ornament serves as a graceful focal addition to premium collections of Chinese literati jade display works.
