A beautifully hand-carved Chinese soapstone sculpture featuring three vases overflowing with intricate chrysanthemum blooms, resting atop a pierced stone base adorned with a pair of finely detailed birds. The artist skillfully used the natural color variations in the stone — from warm amber to deep charcoal — to give the flowers, vessels, and base a remarkable sense of depth and contrast.
Standing about 8.75 inches tall and 8 inches wide, this piece was likely created in the late Qing to early Republic period (circa 1900–1930) and reflects the traditional symbolism of harmony and longevity found in Chinese art. Every petal and feather is delicately carved by hand, showing the patient craftsmanship that soapstone carving is known for.
A striking and serene display piece that brings warmth and texture to any space — ideal for collectors of Asian art, vintage décor enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to timeless hand-carved details.
