White Hetian Jade Carving: Wine Beneath the Blossoms, 171 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.

A scholar sits beneath flowering branches on a broad rectangular panel. The reverse develops a separate mountain landscape, making this a scene on each side rather than a plain-backed plaque. Read the landscape from its outer outline toward the smaller architectural and natural details. Changes in spacing and carved depth can suggest distance on a small surface. Side-lit close-ups help distinguish raised details from shadows cast by studio lighting.

The listed dimensions are 73.7 x 52.8 mm, approximately 2.9 x 2.08 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 171 g. Confirm a suitable display support or handling arrangement for this three-dimensional form.

The scholar enjoying wine beneath blossoms belongs to the tradition of literary leisure in Chinese art. Flowers and the surrounding landscape create a setting for contemplation and seasonal enjoyment. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
