Description

A WHITE AND BROWN JADE ‘GOURD AND BUTTERFLY’ PENDANT, 18TH CENTURY

China. Finely carved as a lobed gourd growing from a gnarled openworked stem allowing for suspension as a pendant and issuing furled leaves with neatly incised veins, the fruit’s base carved in high relief with a butterfly with long trailing antennae and meticulously detailed wings.

The translucent stone, of white tone with pale brown shadings, has been masterfully carved so that the butterfly and leafy stem are accentuated by the natural colors, and polished to a luminous finish that enhances its striking presence.

Provenance: A private collection of Chinese jades in northern England, and thence by descent in the family.
Condition: Good condition with some wear. Minuscule nicks, a small chip, and natural fissures, some of which have developed into small hairline cracks.

Weight: 186 g (excl. stand), 201 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 7.5 cm (excl. stand), 10.4 cm (incl. stand)

With a fitted, carved, and lacquered scroll-form wood stand dating from the Qing dynasty. (2)

Gourds (gua) and butterflies (hudie) form a rebus expressing a wish for many generations of children. The saying ‘Gua die mian mian’ is used metaphorically to wish for a family’s offspring to flourish and prosper.
