Mini Chinese Bonsai Sculpture — Carnelian & Quartz, Jade Planter
A charming miniature Chinese bonsai tree sculpture crafted from carved hardstones and mounted in a spinach jade base. The blossoms are fashioned from rose quartz, white quartz, and carnelian, each petal individually shaped and hand-wired. The leaves are carved from deep green jadeite, shaped to mimic natural foliage with serrated edges.
Set into a shallow rectangular planter carved from rich spinach jade, the piece is anchored with crushed quartz simulating gravel. A wrapped wire trunk mimics bark texture, creating a lifelike yet decorative botanical sculpture. Popular in mid-20th-century Chinese export art, these floral arrangements symbolize vitality and harmony.
