A CELADON JADE ‘TWIN FISH’ PENDANT

China, 17th-18th century or earlier. Finely carved as a pair of confronted fish feeding on a sprig of seaweed with several pierced sections including a small central aperture for suspension, their scales neatly detailed with cross-hatched incisions along the body, their dorsal fins raised, and their tails upturned in a swimming motion.

The translucent jade is of a fine celadon tone with scattered cloudy inclusions.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Xu Yingkui (1830-1903), Viceroy of Min-Zhe, Guangzhou, China, this piece has been passed down directly through three generations within his family. Xu Yingkui, a first-rank court official, served as Viceroy of Min-Zhe, Governor of Fuzhou, and General of Fujian from 1898 to 1903 during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor (1871-1908). Born into a prestigious gentry family in Guangzhou, Xu was the godson of Empress Cixi and the grandnephew of Lu Xun. He was a poet, scholar, avid art collector, and influential politician. Notably, Xu was appointed Viceroy of Min-Zhe shortly before the Boxer Rebellion. During the rebellion, he famously signed the Mutual Protection of South China Agreement, striving to maintain peace and sovereignty in his province alongside Yuan Shikai, the future president of the Republic of China, and three others, openly defying the Qing court. After the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Eight-Nation Alliance and China, Xu retired. In his retirement, he planned to construct a large and luxurious private garden in Guangzhou, but he passed away before the project could be realized.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and microscopic nibbling to edges. The jade with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.
