Pair of Green Hardstone Bowls, Republic Period China

Offered by: Antique and Art Exchange

Description
A pair of Chinese Republic Period bowls carved from green hardstone, displaying the elegant simplicity and translucent quality prized in 20th-century Chinese lapidary arts. The smooth, rounded forms and delicate mossy hue reflect a period of transition where traditional craftsmanship met the refined tastes of a modernizing society.
Circa 1920, these period pieces were created during a time of significant artistic independence following the end of imperial rule.
Carved and polished green hardstone with a subtle, naturally occurring internal structure that catches the light. Rooted in the ancient Chinese tradition of stone carving, these bowls carry forward a scholarly appreciation for material beauty and functional grace into the Republican era.
