Detailed Description
THE FINE PIECE: Imperial Dragon Jar in Soapstone
Elegant jar with a lid of oriental manufacture, wholly carved from a single block of cream-colored soapstone.
• Work: Meticulous bas-relief depicting an Imperial Dragon among floral motifs. The piece is not an industrial cast: the authenticity of the material is confirmed by the signs of manual grinding visible inside and on the base, as well as by the density typical of natural stone.
• Dimensions: Height 9 cm | Width 8 cm.
• Weight: Extremely solid for its size, the body alone weighs 330 grams, testimony to the quality of the stone used.
THE COMPLEMENT: Vintage Oil Lamp
Refined kerosene lamp from the mid-20th century (1950s/60s), perfect for Retro or Shabby Chic decor.
• Materials: Glazed ceramic base in pale pastel blue and chimney (paralume) in amber glass with garland decorations.
• Conditions: Impeccable conservation. The glass is intact, with no chips or flaws. Original wick mechanism present.
Technical Data and Provenance
• Era: Mid-20th century.
• State of Preservation: Excellent, pieces from a private family collection (heritage).
• Collector's Detail: The stone of the vase is cold to the touch and shows a natural patina attesting to its age and exposure to air over the decades.
