Carved stone fruit tree decorative sculpture

This decorative tabletop sculpture is designed to resemble a miniature fruit tree, likely crafted from hardstones or mineral stones such as jade or serpentine. The piece features a textured, dark brownish trunk anchored in a shallow, round, mottled green glazed ceramic or stone pot. The base of the pot is filled with a layer of small, light-colored or white gravel stones surrounding the base of the trunk. The branches extend outward, supporting numerous flat, carved green stone leaves along with several large, bulbous green fruit elements, possibly representing peaches or plums, showing pale green to slightly translucent colorations with subtle variations. A prominent price sticker is affixed to the front-facing central fruit. The overall construction appears consistent with decorative mid-to-late 20th-century Asian export crafts, often associated with decorative bonsai trees made of semi-precious stones. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures directly observed on the body or the pot, leaving the exact origin and manufacturing date unverified. The condition appears generally intact with light surface dust, though handling wear and minor imperfections typical of hand-assembled mineral stone sculptures cannot be ruled out.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this decorative tabletop sculpture appears to be a mid-to-late 20th-century Asian export decorative piece featuring a carved hardstone or mineral stone fruit tree in a ceramic or stone pot. I cannot verify from a photo the exact mineral composition of the stones, such as whether the green elements are jade, serpentine, or another semi-precious material, nor can I observe any maker's marks or signatures. My value estimate of $150 to $250 assumes the attribution to a vintage semi-precious mineral stone bonsai-style export craft is correct. Market demand for these decorative mid-century items is generally modest and driven primarily by decorative appeal rather than investment collector interest. If physical inspection reveals the piece to be a later modern reproduction, replica, or mass-produced synthetic resin copy rather than hand-assembled mineral stone, the value would likely decrease to the $50-$100 range. To better establish the value and materials, an in-person examination by a qualified appraiser or gemological testing to identify the specific stones would be necessary.
