A jade glass bonsai tree with pink flowers, set in a celadon ceramic planter — the beauty of a bonsai in perpetual bloom.
Maker: Unknown
Materials: Jade glass, ceramic celadon planter
Dimensions: Approx. 8.5" tall × 5" wide
Origin: China
Era: Vintage, 1980s
Condition: Average — top flower missing one petal; three leaves broken (photographed). Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
The form is lovely — pale green glass branches, pink blooms, and a classic celadon planter that all work beautifully together. Condition issues are fully disclosed above and photographed; the overall composition still reads beautifully from a normal viewing distance. One available.
On a shelf or side table where the imperfections aren't the focus — for an Asian art collector who doesn't mind a little wear, or anyone who wants a bonsai that will never need watering.
Jade glass bonsai sculptures were a popular decorative export from China throughout the 1980s, prized for capturing the elegant, sculptural form of a bonsai tree without any of the maintenance a living one requires.
