A vintage graceful pair of Chinese celadon jade birds, each finely carved in the round from pale, translucent green hardstone with soft white mottling. The birds are shown in elegant profile with long, flowing tails, carefully incised feather patterns across the wings and bodies, and rounded, naturalistic forms that catch the light beautifully. Each rests on a rocky base and is presented on a dark hardwood stand with a gently scalloped edge, creating a classic, balanced composition ideal for a mantel, shelf, or cabinet.
The stone displays the characteristic soft celadon tone and pleasant translucency associated with traditional Chinese hardstone carvings, while the polished surfaces and clear detailing of the plumage give the pair a refined, luminous quality. The matching stands provide a rich contrast that enhances the pale green of the jade and completes the decorative presentation.
Dating to the late Qing or early-to-mid 20th century decorative tradition, these birds exemplify the enduring appeal of Chinese carved jade figures—quiet, elegant, and timeless. Offered as a matched pair with their stands, they are in attractive condition with clear carving and no major visible damage. These are not lab tested but were purchased as celadon Jade. Beautiful pieces.
A refined and harmonious set for collectors of Chinese decorative arts or anyone seeking a pair of classic jade birds to display.
