A GREEN AND RUSSET JADE AXE BLADE, FU, LATE NEOLITHIC PERIOD-SHANG DYNASTY

China, ca. 2000-1100 BC. Of trapezoidal form, with a curved upper edge and straight edges flaring to a wide beveled lower edge, above a wide hafting hole. The semi-translucent stone bearing varying shades of dark mottled green and deep russet with cloudy inclusions.

Provenance: Daniel Milano, Paris, France, 2000. Paolo Bertuzzi, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from D Milano, dated 22 March 2000, addressed to Paolo Bertuzzi, confirming the date above, and stating a purchase price for the present lot of EUR 2,000 or approx. EUR 3,000 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022) was a fashion stylist from Bologna, Italy. He was the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother’s business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than sixty years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.
Condition: Very good condition with ancient wear, tiny chips and nibbles which have smoothened over the centuries, the stone with natural inclusions and fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.
