About This Piece

Cut from Qinghua seed jade with its natural pore skin intact, the stone's grey and white tones are described as clean and well-balanced. Two pigs — one large, one small — are carved in the round with rounded, cheerful faces, and a bat is worked into the design as a deliberate colour contrast. Listed at 60 x 35.5 mm and 82.7 g, this is a lighter, easy hand piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send in-hand photographs of the bat's placement.

The meaning behind this piece

The pig (猪, zhu) sounds like the word for blessing, and the bat (蝠, fu) sounds like fortune, so together the two figures are read as 'happy pigs inviting blessings'. It is wordplay with a warm, domestic feel — a cultural association, not a promise of any outcome.

Sizing and wear

At 60 x 35.5 mm (approx. 2.4 x 1.4 in) and 82.7 g, this is a modest hand piece that sits lightly in the palm; the third dimension is confirmed per piece.

Keeping this piece at its best

  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, then dry it at once.
  • Keep it away from perfume, soap and household chemicals.
  • Store in a padded box separate from harder items.
