Three jade grape clusters dating from 1950–1960, with dimensions 20 cm wide, 8 cm high and 15 cm deep.
Description from the seller
These decorative figurines depict a cluster of grapes carved in green jade, a semiprecious stone highly valued in Asian culture, especially in China. Each grape is carefully polished, with a light green, translucent hue, while the leaves, also made of jade, exhibit a darker green that provides contrast and visual depth. The piece is held together by a metal stem that imitates the texture of the vine, completing a realistic and harmonious composition.
This type of figure originates in the Chinese artisanal tradition of the 20th century, when jade was used not only in jewelry but also in decorative objects for the home. Grapes, in Chinese symbolism, represent abundance, fertility, and good fortune. For this reason, these clusters of grapes were common as decorations in living rooms or display cabinets, or as meaningful gifts.
Although the piece is in good condition, it shows slight signs of aging that lend authenticity and character. Its style combines naturalist realism with the elegance of oriental art, reflecting an era in which manual labor and symbolism were essential in decoration. It is a testament to the appreciation for enduring beauty and the profound meaning that characterizes jade in traditional culture.
