Nephrite Jade Bonsai Tree With White Blossoms In Celadon Pot

An intricately carved miniature bonsai tree made of nephrite jade, with delicate branches adorned with clusters of white flower blossoms. A small celadon-glazed ceramic pot with a cracked finish, typical of late Qing craftsmanship, holds the tree in place. This delicate piece, which combines the precious materials of jade and celadon to symbolize harmony between nature and artifice, is probably meant to be shown in a literati studio to inspire peace and intellectual reflection. The jade’s light age patina and the pot’s mild glaze wear indicate that it was used gently, maintaining its beauty.
