Lot #314: Pair of vintage Chinese glass and jade bonsai tree

The Foliage: The pink flower petals and deep green leaves are meticulously hand-carved from semi-precious hardstones (such as rose quartz, jade, or agate) or hand-blown Peking glass. Each component is individually wrapped onto wire branches using silk thread. The Structure: The branches are fully posable and connect to a textured trunk made of resin or plaster molded over a wire core to replicate realistic tree bark. The Base: The tree is anchored inside a traditional celadon-glazed ceramic or hardstone pot, filled with glued-in-place white gravel or stone chips to stabilize the base. Era: These ornamental trees were popular luxury imports and souvenir collectibles during the mid-to-late 20th century, particularly from the 1970s through the 1990s. Pickup category timeslot {A}
