These graduated vessels display a mesmerizing range of mottled olive, vibrant sage, and deep forest green hues. When held to the light, the semi-translucent stone reveals beautiful natural inclusions, cloud-like marbling, and delicate veining characteristic of authentic hardstone carvings from the period.

Carved with classic flaring rims and gently rounded profiles, the three bowls nest seamlessly together into a compact footprint or can be arranged separately as elegant catchalls, striking accent pieces, or sophisticated historical additions to a curated display. A wonderful testament to mid-to-late 20th-century Chinese lapidary craftsmanship that brings an organic, soulful presence to Chinoiserie, eclectic, or modern organic spaces.
