Rare Vintage Hand-Carved Chinese Jade Mermaid & Fish Sculpture 2.5 lbs & 6''

A remarkable find for discerning Chinese art and jade collectors! This rare vintage sculpture is a beautifully hand-carved representation of a mermaid with a fish, crafted from natural nephrite jade—a stone historically treasured in Chinese culture for its purity, strength, and symbolic meaning. Meticulously carved in the traditional style, the sculpture captures graceful movement and detail: the mermaid’s flowing hair, delicate features, and intricately scaled tail reflect the artisan’s masterful skill. The fish she cradles—an enduring symbol of abundance, prosperity, and harmony in Chinese art—adds both aesthetic and cultural significance. This collectible piece weighs approximately 2.5 pounds and measures 6 inches long, 5 inches high, and 2.5 inches thick, making it a substantial display work for a collector’s cabinet, altar, or fine art space. In good vintage condition, with a minor chip on the fish tail that is barely noticeable and does not detract from the sculpture’s beauty or integrity. Whether you are a jade enthusiast, Chinese art collector, or connoisseur of symbolic carvings, this authentic Chinese nephrite jade artwork is a timeless and meaningful addition to any refined collection.
