Item Details
Description
AN 18th CENTURY CELADON AND RUSSET JADE 'PEACH AND BATS'PEBBLE

Light celadon color jade with russet inclusions, smooth surface polish
China, 18th century or possibly earlier

This jade pebble is carved in the shape of a peach with a little bat sitting on it and which is carved in high relief. Natural russet color inclusions in the material have been used to highlight the creature and the darker colored tip of the fruit.

The peach is a symbol of longevity, and the word for bat in Chinese is fu which is a homophone for 'blessing'. Together the bat and peach form 'fushou shuang quan', a wish for good fortune and long life.

Shape: Figural rounded shape, two holes for suspension
Dimensions: 5,2 cm (height), 6,5 cm (length), 2,7 cm (width)
Condition: Good condition with extensive hand patina
Provenance: American private collection, collector's number to underside

Literature comparison: Sotheby's, QING DYNASTY JADES FROM A HONG KONG COLLECTION, 01 JUNE 2017, HONG KONG, lot 45 (for a comparable peach and bat group, yet of larger size)
