Art Arrangement Appraisal

Jade and Stone Flower Art Arrangement

This item is an artistic arrangement featuring several handcrafted flowers set in a light green, possibly jade or soapstone, square pot. The flowers appear to be fashioned from translucent materials, possibly carved stone such as agate, quartz, or another semi-precious stone. There are at least three distinct blossoms visible. One flower exhibits petals with a warm gradient, transitioning from clear or very light translucent white to a rich orange or amber at its tips. Another, more centrally located flower, showcases delicate, uniformly translucent white petals with small, bright yellow stamen-like accents in its center. A third, partially visible flower also appears to be of the translucent white variety. The stems and some leaves are dark, possibly made from a darker stone, metal, or enamel-coated wire, which provides a stark contrast to the light floral elements. The square pot has a clean, simple design and appears to be polished, displaying the subtle variations and veining indicative of natural stone. The overall construction suggests careful handcraftsmanship, with individual petals and leaves assembled to form lifelike, albeit stylized, floral forms. Due to the inherent properties of stone, this piece would be relatively fragile. No visible damage such as chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately apparent from the image, but the resolution is limited. The item likely belongs to a decorative art category, possibly dating from the mid to late 20th century, a period when such stone or jade flower arrangements were popular in various East Asian decorative styles.
