清乾隆瓜叠连绵和田玉籽料坠(Sold)

“A Qing dynasty Qianlong period Hetian jade seed material pendant, featuring a unique combination of golden-hued skin on one side and a pale green-white color on the other. Delicately carved to depict ripe gourds with falling stems, intertwining branches and vines, it presents a warm, autumnal scene, symbolizing the continuous prosperity and abundance of descendants. The pendant measures approximately 5 centimeters in length and weighs about 30 grams. The natural golden-hued skin of this seed material Hetian jade is extremely precious. The craftsmanship demonstrates a desire to follow the natural shape of the jade, avoiding excessive cutting to maintain an organic appearance, along with smooth lines and a vivid design. These characteristics are typical of the 18th-century Qianlong period. To own such a piece of jade is indeed a great fortune in life.”
