작품 상세

Dimensions: 5.75"W x 4"D x 2.5"H (with base). Finely Carved Chinese Celadon and Russet Jade Brush Washer with Cloud Motifs, with Carved Hardwood Stand A substantial and beautifully polished celadon-russet jade brush washer, of gently rounded rectangular form, the stone displaying a soft pale celadon tone toward the interior, transitioning to warm honey-amber and russet coloration along the exterior rim. The natural color variation of the jade has been skillfully incorporated by the artisan to highlight the carved motifs. The exterior is adorned with deeply carved scrolling cloud patterns, rendered in fluid, swirling strokes that evoke auspicious qi-yun (spirit-cloud) energy. The carving is confident and rhythmic, creating a subtle interplay of raised relief and translucent stone. The interior well is smoothly hollowed and highly polished, demonstrating meticulous workmanship and an understanding of jade’s tactile beauty. The washer is presented on an intricately carved hardwood stand, elaborately worked with blossoming flowers, pine boughs, and rocks in openwork relief. The stand’s dark, lustrous patina forms a handsome contrast to the luminous jade, enhancing the overall presence of the piece. The combination of large size, excellent polish, and successful integration of natural russet inclusions reflects the refined aesthetics of scholar’s studio objects, prized for both utility and contemplative beauty.
