This is a very heavy (200-300lbs) bowl carved from a single piece of stone. It looks like Jade, though it wasn't very difficult to scratch the stone with a nail which suggests it's a softer stone. The bowl opening is angled to the front, and the rim is decorated with bug-eyed goldfish. The bowl sits atop a wood pedestal that appears to be painted red or has a very deep red stain. The pedestal is an unusual design, which may have some from a single tree trunk (cypress?).

Bowl is about 3'-4" long x 2' high x 2' deep (rough, because of the unusual shape). The pedestal is 2' long x 1'-6" wide x 1'-9" high.

We inherited this sculpture along with other items in an estate sale for the house we just bought. The previous owner (late homeowner) bought the house brand new in 1994, so she may have obtained this sculpture around that time. Her name was Josephine Chan, and some records we've obtained suggest she may have been born in Hong Kong. She was president of a textile company. Josephine died from cancer around March 2020. Josephine may have been divorced or estranged from her husband, Mark Eisen, who is alive and who I've had a brief run-in with. The sculpture was placed in a corner of the main family room when we bought the house.
