Description
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
Carved from white jade, this piece is clear and moist in quality. The chayoteshaped ornament has vines surrounded the upper part of the fruit, and the top is hollowed for string. The flesh is as delicate as a fingertip that takes on an extremely realistic smooth and round shape. The word Chayote in a Chinese dialect sounds like “fu,†meaning “welcoming good fortune.†The combination of a chayote, a longevity peach and a pomegranate further suggests three kinds of blessings: good fortune, longevity, and fertility. L: 7.4 cm
