  • Catalogue Essay

    Of argricultural origin, the symbolism of fruits and flowers was always glorified by the Chinese. During important festivals based on the yearly cycle of planting and harvesting, specific fruits were presented for the auspiciousness of the seasons, whilst others are used for celebratory symbols for weddings and birthdays.
    'Peapod' is one the most classic topics and a popular motif which always appears in jadeite carvings, for its dual reference to wealth and posterity. The well-stacked outline of peapod gives a visual symbolism of a purse bursting with wealth, or the blessing of numerous offsprings and children. This pair of very fine jadeite peapods of vivid emerald green colour and superb translucency presents not only a celebratory joy to reciprocate the gifts of Mother Nature, but also a fabulous pair of jadeite ear pendants.
