Single-flower vase - Stoneware - China - China Serpentine Vase (No reserve price)

skillfully handmade Chinese decorative vase from natural stone, depicting a delicate lotus blossom. The sculpture masterfully uses the natural coloring of the stone: while the upper part radiates in a gentle, slightly translucent light green (often referred to as Xiu jade or serpentine), the base transitions to a dark anthracite gray. The detailed carving shows a broadly opened lotus flower, surrounded by buds, leaves, and a fine surface texture.

The object is offered together with the accompanying traditional pierced solid wood pedestal.
