Natural Rare Purple Burmese Jade - Double-Sided Intricate Grape Vine Carving - 999g - Valued at $85,000

Nearly a kilogram of rare natural Burmese jade in lavender and light green, masterfully carved on both sides with grape vines, fruits, flowers and leaves, independently valued at $85,000.


Natural purple and lavender jade from Burma is among the rarest and most coveted materials in the jade world. The green shades of Burmese jadeite are well known and widely celebrated, but the lavender and purple tones are produced by entirely different trace elements and occur far less frequently. When you find a piece at this weight, nearly a kilogram, with the consistent colour distribution and carving quality this piece displays, you are looking at something genuinely special.


The carving itself is a tribute to traditional Chinese lapidary artistry. Grape vines with full clusters of fruit, detailed flowers and layered leaves are rendered across both faces of the stone, a double-sided composition that gives the carver no room to hide and gives the collector twice the visual reward. The lavender and light green colour combination is considered particularly auspicious in Chinese cultural tradition, where jade of this quality is treasured as both an art object and a store of wealth. At 999 grams this piece has genuine physical presence and commands attention.


Independent third-party valuation: $85,000. Burmese lavender jade of this size, quality and cartsmanship does not come up often.
