Chinese Painting Stone Ovoid Vase

This elegant ovoid-shaped vase, standing 6.75 inches tall, is crafted from authentic Chinese Painting Stone. Discovered in the mountains of southern China, particularly near Dali in Yunnan Province, Chinese painting stones are sedimentary rocks celebrated for their natural landscape-like patterns. Also known as Chinese Picture Jasper, 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.

Part of the inside core of this vase was not completely drilled out of the stone, so it is priced accordingly. It does not affect the outside beauty or the ability to display flowers with a shorter stem. This is vase would be in our Reserve Collection if it weren't for this very minor internal flaw.
