Celebrate the artistry of the Qing dynasty with this exquisite pair of celadon jade parrots, a remarkable example of fine Chinese craftsmanship. These intricately carved parrots, perched with one leg raised, embody a sense of grace and vitality, making them a striking addition to any collection.


A Symbol of Beauty and Harmony

Each parrot is meticulously detailed:

  • The feathers are finely carved, showcasing the jade’s natural translucency and the artisan's skill.
  • Positioned facing each other, these parrots evoke a sense of connection and balance, symbolic of harmony in Chinese culture.

Carved from celadon jade, prized for its delicate green hues, these parrots reflect the Qing dynasty’s rich tradition of jade carving.


Condition:

  • Good condition, with no noticeable damage.
  • Some age-related wear and natural patina, adding to their authenticity and charm.

Dimensions:

  • Height: 12 cm (4.7 inches).
  • Width: 5 cm (2 inches).
  • Unpacked weight: 552 grams (pair).

Why These Parrots Stand Out:

  • Cultural Symbolism: In Chinese tradition, parrots represent beauty, intelligence, and good fortune, making these carvings meaningful and decorative.
  • Exquisite Craftsmanship: The intricate detailing of the feathers and posture showcases the skill of Qing-era artisans.
  • Collector’s Treasure: A rare and harmonious pair, perfect for jade enthusiasts or collectors of Chinese art.

This pair of celadon jade parrots is a stunning testament to Chinese artistry, ideal for display or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates the beauty of traditional jade carving.
