Chinese Pale Celadon Jade Bangle, probably Nineteenth Century
A Chinese Pale Celadon Jade or Jadeite Bangle, of typical stout circular form, the mottled stone of a pleasing pale celadon colour with typical dark grey and black inclusions.Jade is usually divided into two types, nephrite jade and jadeite jade. The latter is heavier and slightly harder, making it more difficult to scratch. The weight of this piece suggests that we do have jadeite here. The stone was selected for carving on the basis of its attractive appearance and the finish, which bears no trace of machine tooled manufacture, suggests a pre twentieth century dating, but certainty in these matters is notoriously difficult
The size of this piece is unusually large, suggesting that it would have been intended for a male wearer. This too suggests an earlier rather than later time of manufacture. The stone is exceptionally pleasant to the hand and would have been an elegant accompaniment to any wardrobe.
| Size: | Unusually large size that was probably intended for a male wrist; Diam (interior) 6.55 cm (exterior) 9.8cm , Width 1.4cm |
| Weight: | 107.9 grams |
| Date: | 1900 |
| Condition: | Good condition generally but with a slight surface fracture (see images 3 & 4) |
| Estimate: | £30 – 40 |
