A striking vintage Chinese hand-carved stone vessel depicting a mythical beast supporting a decorative vase form. The beast, with a fierce yet stylized expression, is rendered in a guardian-lion / bixie style, while smaller climbing creatures and swirling scrollwork add dimension and movement to the design.
The stone has a warm, calcified appearance with natural inclusions and surface variations that give it character and the look of age.
This sculptural vessel makes a dramatic statement as a display piece on a console, shelf, or mantel, and would appeal to collectors of Asian decorative arts or those seeking an unusual accent object with strong presence.
Period: early-mid 20th Century
Material: Carved stone (calcified appearance, sometimes referred to as “calcified jade”)
Style: Chinese / Decorative Arts
