Green Hetian Jade Plaque: Abundance Year After Year, 23.4 g

No. This individual piece has already been collected and remains online as a reference. You can ask Yufu Jade to look for a similar material, form or carving subject; any new piece is documented and quoted separately.

Lotus and fish motifs are rendered in fine shallow relief across a dark green rectangle. Light catches the slender outlines, keeping the design legible without a heavy raised border. Shallow relief depends on small changes in height to separate the motif from its ground. Oblique lighting helps reveal the carved outlines and the transitions into the plain surface; strong front lighting alone can make those levels difficult to judge.

The listed dimensions are 42.8 x 23.1 mm, approximately 1.69 x 0.91 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 23.4 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Lotus and fish form a familiar Chinese visual pun: lotus suggests continuity and fish suggests surplus. Together they express a wish for abundance year after year. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
