Chinese Picture Jasper Ovoid Vase

This elegant ovoid-shaped vase, standing 6.3 inches tall, is crafted from authentic Chinese Picture Jasper. Discovered in the mountains of southern China, particularly near Dali in Yunnan Province, Chinese Picture Jasper is sedimentary rock celebrated for its natural landscape-like patterns. Also known as Chinese Painting Stone, Chinese Scenery Jasper, or Shui Mo stone (meaning "water ink" stone), these remarkable specimens display scenes that resemble traditional Chinese brush paintings—complete with mountains, mist, and horizons—all created entirely by nature. Its natural stone patterns offer a distinctive visual appeal, making it a sophisticated choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a refined decorative piece. Ideal for showcasing small floral arrangements or as a standalone art object, this vase combines traditional craftsmanship with natural beauty.

The white mark in this vase is an ancient fossil.
