The stone color shifts from dark grey to pale white with striking diagonal striations. A blossoming branch carved in the round trails onto the interior of the bow. The pale grayish-white color of the jade pebble is skillfully carved in openwork of delicate Mei Hua flowers with curled petals and long, winding stems. The flower, emblematic of longevity, has at all times inspired the aged Chinese literati because of its admirable vitality, even in the barren season; it reminds the learned sage to persist in his intellectual endeavor even in old age. The Qing era is known for its exceptional and distinct craftsmanship. This bowl spells out elegance and fineness. Despite the stone's remarkable texture, color and high polished surface, the bowl is gaudily carved and not very refined. It does not have the minute details that distinguish the Qing era. The pierced openings between branches and curled leaves are rather unvarying and stiff. From the Tao-Kuan period up to the present day, the art of jade has rapidly changed in technique and style to become more commercialized. In fact, the bottom of the bowl bears a small ink print CHINA indicates that this is a recent and common exported art object*."},{"label":"Title","value":"Bowl with floral decoration"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
