Specializing in Fine Antique Vintage Jewelry & Collectibles. 1800 Chinese Ching Qing Dynasty Dragon Caledon Red Jade Bowl Urn! These prices come from GIA recognized Gem Guide , THE wholesale price guide for dealers. These values do not dictate what a piece is worth. This is the price a piece would be worth if stripped down and melted to its bare materials. This gorgeous Urn was hand made during the height of the Victorian Period. The Victorian Period is by far one of my favorite periods. This period is known for it’s rich and gorgeous designs as well as hand carved work. During the Victorian Period, China was considered THE place to have Jewelry, Furniture, Sculptures, Statues, Carvings, Paintings, custom made and done. They were the best craftsmen in pretty much every market in the world at the time. Items from China in a lot of ways were a status symbol for the rich. Very few of these pieces were made due to the extreme price and even less has survived the years until today. This particular urn measures 10″ Tall by nearly 8″ wide. The bowl itself has a 3″ opening with a 4″ depth and a 6 width as it expands wider on the inside. The piece is beautifully hand carved out of a mix of gorgeous Caledon & Red Jade. This leaves the Jade to be a mix of a beautiful light green and red color that creates a stunning color pattern. The Jade is in great condition and show cases beautiful dragon designs on the side of the urn as well as it’s handles that have been beautifully hand carved with beautiful details. There is also a gorgeous Foo Dog carving on the top of the lid that tops the piece off perfectly. The Urn is placed on top of a teak wood bottom that has been beautifully hand carved with details and matches the exact size of the urn beautifully. This bowl was made in China by these very talented craftsmen of the Ch’ing and Qing Era’s, they referenced Greek and Roman designs into the beautiful art work design you see in this bowl. This would of been used a decorative urn. You do NOT want to miss out on this gorgeous antique piece! Main Stone Carat Weight/Color/Clarity. Accent Stone Carat Weight/Color/Clarity. Sizable by Your Local Jeweler. Due to the age of some of these pieces some items will not be stamped.
