Elevate your home decor with this stunning Vintage Chinese Gemstone "Penjing" Flower Basket. This exquisite mid-century piece features a meticulously handcrafted bouquet of semi-precious stones, all nestled within a vibrant, traditional cloisonné enamel bowl. Unlike standard "jade trees," this rare "basket" style includes a graceful brass handle, creating a 360-degree sculptural masterpiece.

  ​  Artistry & Materials

​Every element of this arrangement has been carved and assembled by hand:

   ​Flowers: Delicate petals carved from Rose Quartz (pink), White Jade (pale), and Honey Agate (amber/yellow).

​ Fruit: Intricate clusters of Amethyst or Lapis-colored grapes and vibrant Carnelian berries, symbolizing abundance and prosperity.

  ​Foliage: Deep green leaves carved from Nephrite Jade or Bowenite.

​  The Base: A heavy, solid brass bowl featuring intricate Cloisonné enamel work with floral motifs in blue, red, and white.

​  Craftsmanship: The branches are made of flexible wire wrapped in traditional green silk thread, allowing you to gently "bloom" or pose the arrangement to your liking.

   ​Dimensions & Condition

​Height: Approximately 9 inches tall (to the top of the handle).

​  Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The stone carvings are crisp, and the cloisonné base remains vibrant with minimal wear. PLEASE NOTE THAT: SOME OF THE STONE MAY HAVE CRACKS DURING CARVING PROCESS. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS.

  ​The Perfect Gift or Accent
