White Hetian Jade Plaque: Double Good Fortune, 57.4 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.

Two rounded fruit forms hang beneath leaves on a tapering oval pendant. A warm skin band runs along one side, contrasting with the pale raised fruit and fine stippled surface details. The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.

The listed dimensions are 57 x 35 mm, approximately 2.24 x 1.38 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 57.4 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Two fruit forms give visual expression to the title's wish for double good fortune. Fruit, leaves and paired arrangements are common devices in Chinese auspicious carving. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
