Antique Early 20th C. Chinese Qingtian Two Lions Playing with Ball Carving Vase
Dimension: 6 1/4 inches (15.87cm)
This magnificent hand-carved flower vase dates to the early 20th century (Republic of China period, c.1912-1949) and is crafted from fine, creamy-white Qingtian stone—one of China's "Four Great Seal Stones" and a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
**Artistry & Symbolism**
The piece features the classic auspicious motif "Two Lions Playing with a Ball", a symbol of protection, prosperity, and high social status in Chinese culture. The central vase is adorned with intricate geometric openwork, flanked by two powerfully carved lions with detailed manes and dynamic poses. The entire composition rests on an elaborately pierced base, showcasing the carver's mastery of openwork and relief techniques. The "ball" motif represents unity and good fortune, making this a meaningful decorative piece for any home or collection.
