Description

Description...Welcome to my auction! For your consideration is presented a large superb antique Chinese soapstone carving in a rich coloration of rust, tan and a bit of celadon having an impressive surface patina. This carving was produced in China sometime around the turn of the century C1900 most likely for the export market. The details are extremely nice with the subject matter showing three staggered well hollowed vases to the back with the entire front being densely carved and pierced in a skilled openwork technique consisting of birds, flowers in bloom as well as buds, stems and leaves along with several footed pots with rockery to the bottom. The carving has great depth from front to back and is a robust piece standing 7" High x 8" Long x 5" Deep and would make a great center piece for the collection.
