AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present a splendid Chinese tobacco jar, a testament to the ancient and refined artisanal tradition of hardstone carving. The piece is in excellent condition and is characterized by a warm, veined yellow tone that lends prestige and depth to the work.
The body of the tobacco jar is finely worked in bas-relief, featuring flowing decorative motifs that enhance its harmonious shape and the natural texture of the material. The piece is accompanied by its original cap, which integrates perfectly with the delicate spoon (spatula) used for tobacco, an element of extreme fragility that in this specimen has remained intact over time.
