RUYI TREASURE BOWL

Chinese jadeite carvings always embody many wonderful meanings, including love, righteousness, wisdom, bravery or purity. These connotations are expressed in their shapes and forms. LOT 2072 takes the shape of a treasure bowl, an auspicious object that has its stories passed on through the history of Chinese folklore. It is believed to represent endless wealth and thrifty characters. 

It is a thrilling experience to see such a large piece of the best quality jadeite. Its full and graceful form reaches a size measuring 57.90 x 31.31 x 13.31 mm. In terms of all length, width, and depth it is one of the largest ever seen in international auctions. It showcases jadeites’ unique beauty with its delicate texture, excellent translucency, and vivid green color. Its inherent internal structure is very fine and it allows a perfect light reflection inside its body. The surface is meticulously polished to show the jadeite’s ‘water’ with only simple curves, which further emphasizes its elegance.Jadeite is an aggregate of different minerals that form through metamorphism over 60 million years ago. They are mostly found in metamorphic rocks associated with subduction zones along the margins of current or geologically ancient convergent plate boundaries involving oceanic lithosphere. With the advancement of mining technology and the increasing mining yield, the Burmese government has placed strict controls over mining activity to prolong the life of its mining industry. The basic principle of economics means that jadeite is not merely a safe investment, but also an artwork of beauty and Chinese wisdom to be truly treasured and passed down through generations with blessing.
