White Hetian Jade Plaque: Dreaming of Jiangnan, 73 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 pavilion and waterside landscape are cut into a rounded, asymmetrical plaque. The reverse close-up shows retained colour and a visible surface line, which should be assessed in current condition photographs before purchase. An edge line is visible in the photographs; ask for a current close-up to establish its nature before ordering. 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 52 x 38.8 mm, approximately 2.05 x 1.53 in. Compare these measurements with a ruler to judge the scale. Listed weight: 73 g. Confirm the suspension opening and any included cord or fittings.

Jiangnan refers to the region south of the lower Yangtze River, celebrated for waterways, gardens and towns. Its artistic landscapes evoke that setting without necessarily depicting an identifiable real location. Read this as the traditional subject of the carving, rather than a statement about its age, maker or a promised effect on the owner.
