ChinaMuseum Collection - Not for Sale
The exquisite beauty of this jade urn is truly a sight to behold. Hand-carved from precious jade, it features two majestic phoenix birds on the body and two on the lid, symbolizing the harmonious union of yin and yang. The intricate details of the phoenix feathers are a testament to the skill and patience of the artisan. The lotus petals at the neck of the urn signify purity and enlightenment.
Adding to its charm, a small phoenix figurine serves as the handle, connected to the urn with a meticulously carved chain. The lid is crowned with a delicate flower, adding a touch of elegance to this already stunning piece. As a snuff bottle, it provides an alluring space for precious fragrances.
This jade urn is not just a beautiful ornament, but a symbol of power, strength, and grace. Its presence brings an aura of nobility and refinement, making it a remarkable addition to any collection.
The jade material itself is highly prized for its metaphysical properties, and has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and harmony. As a symbol of purity and serenity, jade has been used in spiritual practices for centuries, believed to enhance inner peace and wisdom, while also promoting physical healing and emotional balance.
