Chinese antique porcelain fine asian jewelry handmade sterling silver blue and white art gallery chinese lute (Pipa) plum blossom pattern pendant
Chinese antique porcelain fine asian jewelry handmade sterling silver blue and white art gallery chinese lute (Pipa) plum blossom pattern pendant
The piece was selected from Kangxi Period(A.D.1661--1722)，Qing dynasty
I was inspired by traditional musical instrument-chinese lute(Normally we call it Pipa).
The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Several related instruments in East and Southeast Asia are derived from the pipa.
Early literary tradition in China, for example in a 3rd-century description by Fu Xuan, Ode to Pipa, associates the Han pipa with the northern frontier, Princess Liu Xijun, and Wang Zhaojun, who were married to nomad rulers of the Wusun and Xiongnu
peoples in what is now Mongolia and northern Xinjiang respectively. Wang Zhaojun in particular is frequently referenced in later literary works and lyrics (although her story is often conflated with other women including Liu Xijun),as well as in music pieces such as Zhaojun's Lament (昭君怨), and in paintings where she is often depicted holding a pipa.
There are many references to pipa in Tang literary works, for example, in A Music Conservatory Miscellany Duan Anjie related many anecdotes associated with pipa. The pipa is mentioned frequently in Tang Dynasty poetry, where it is often praised for its refinement and delicacy of tone, with poems dedicated to well-known players describing their performances. A famous poem by Bai Juyi's Pipa xing (琵琶行), contains a description of a pipa performance during a chance encounter with a female pipa player on the Yangtze River.
The pattern of the piece is plum blossom flower.We select only the choicest piece for Pipa pendant.The silver part was made by hand delicately.
“The scent of plum blossoms comes from surviving the bitter cold.”
Nearly every Chinese literator has left some laudatory lines or paintings on plum blossom. In their opinions, plum blossom does not crowd the spring time with all the other flowers to catch people’s attention but enjoys its own efflorescence lonely in the winter. In traditional Chinese culture, plum blossom becomes a symbol of pride, noble self-esteem, and perseverance.
It is not only a piece of jewelry but also a piece of art.
Hight:2.48'' Width:0.92''
This beautiful piece is beautifully crafted and of heirloom quality.
Every artwork here is unique. I might be able to do similar ones, taken from another section of the same piece, but they are never alike.That’s what makes them so special and one-of-a-kind.
I believe antique porcelain jewelry could be nice personal collection ,also could be the perfect gift for family members, friends and business partners.

P.S.：The pendant comes with a sterling silver chain randomly. Also the item comes with an identity card and a nice brocade box for packing(The box has a similar feature as you see in the picture. But not exactly the same as it in the picture).
