Mid-Century Carved Jadeite Banana with Hardstone Leaves — 6.5", 10 oz
A charming mid-century carved jadeite banana sculpture, featuring a smooth, polished greenish-yellow stone banana accented by four intricately carved hardstone leaves in earthy brown and olive tones. The leaves are attached with blue silk cord to a short, textured stem, adding botanical realism to this decorative composition.
This piece reflects the mid-20th century tradition of Chinese export decorative carvings, where natural stones were transformed into stylized fruits and vegetables for tabletop display. Measuring 6.5 inches in length and 5 inches in width, and weighing 10 oz, it makes an eye-catching display in a curio cabinet or on a desktop. A delightful and unusual example of vintage hardstone artistry.
Condition:
Good condition with no visible damage. The banana and leaves are intact and free of chips or cracks. Minor surface wear and slight fraying of the silk cord are consistent with age and craftsmanship.
Dimensions:
Length: 6.5 inches
Width: 5 inches
Weight: 10 oz
