The piece is cut from Qinghua seed jade, with the stone's natural ink-grey and white tones giving the pigs their own sense of depth. Two rounded pigs are carved in the round — one large, one small, both with squinting eyes, upturned snouts and plump, easy-going bodies that read as playful rather than fierce. Listed at 59 x 43 mm and 107 g, it is a comfortable, medium hand piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send in-hand photographs of the patterning.

The meaning behind this piece
In Chinese culture the pig is one of the twelve zodiac animals and is linked, through wordplay, to blessing and abundance. The pair of pigs here is a light-hearted wish for a full, contented household. It is a cultural association, not a promise of wealth or any outcome.

Does Qinghua jade count as having skin colour?
Qinghua is valued for its natural ink-grey and white markings rather than a coloured rind. The contrast between the two tones is the point, and each piece patterns differently, so ask for daylight photos to see the exact distribution.
How do I care for a Qinghua piece?
Treat it like any Hetian jade: wipe with a soft damp cloth, keep it dry and away from chemicals, and rest it in a padded box so the polished surface stays bright.
