This is a very detailed carved jade sculpture with a detachable wood base
26" high by 22" wide
Hello, this item is a very large and highly elaborate Chinese style carved jade sculpture depicting a vase overflowing with flowers, fruit, bamboo, and birds, carved from a pale stone with areas of green inclusion. The composition, scale, and dense openwork carving are characteristic of decorative export carvings produced in the late 20th century, often in the 1970s through 1990s, for the luxury home décor market. While described as jade, the stone appears consistent with jadeite or possibly nephrite of commercial grade, showing mottled coloration and natural inclusions rather than the even translucency associated with fine imperial material. The extremely intricate carving and large size are impressive, but they are typical of modern workshop production rather than earlier Qing dynasty pieces, which usually show different tool marks, surface wear, and more restrained compositions.
Comparable late 20th century examples commonly trade between 1,500 USD and 4,000 USD in the secondary market depending on stone quality and condition. Given the visible stone quality, carving density, and overall condition, a realistic current market value would fall in the range of approximately 2,000 USD to 3,500 USD.
