About the Item

Antique natural Carnelian lidded bottle, vase or vessel adorned with ornate flowers, leaves and birds deeply carved in relief, Qing Dynasty, c 1900. The agate varies in color from a light butterscotch to a deep carnelian orange. The tall ornate matching lid fits well. See our photographs for the dimensions. The carving is done quite well. Notice how the craftsman used the natural colors of the carnelian agate using the deep orange shades in the agate to set off the flowers and birds against the lighter butterscotch background. The execution of this object must have been quite difficult to carve from a single piece of translucent agate. There are vein like natural inclusions present in some areas of the vase. These are natural to the stone and not to be confused with a crack or craze. Under very close examination with magnification, we found two very small nicks-which are very hard to see. For a similar item, see Sotheby's Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, lot 424. Sold for $5,000. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond. Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%. Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
