Chinese antique porcelain handmade sterling silver blue and white art gallery plum blossom pendant necklace
Chinese antique porcelain handmade sterling silver blue and white art gallery plum blossom pendant necklace
For this creation, I use Porcelain selected from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty (1661AD -1722AD)
This lovely pendant is beautifully crafted from antique fragments of porcelain from the period and is of heirloom quality.
One of the most beloved flowers in China, the plum blossoms (méi-huā, 梅花) have been frequently depicted in Chinese painting and poetry for centuries. The Chinese see its blossoms as both a symbol of winter as well as a harbinger of spring. It is precisely for this reason that the blossoms are so beloved, as they bloom most vibrantly amidst the winter snow, after most other plants have shed their leaves, and before other flowers appear. They are seen as an example of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Though neither the plum tree nor its blossoms are very striking, they manage to exude an otherworldly exquisiteness and beautiful elegance. The demeanor and character of the plum tree thereby serves as a metaphor for inner beauty and humble display under adverse conditions. Because they blossom in winter, the plum blossom is a member of the “Three Friends of Winter (歲寒三友)”, along with the pine and the bamboo. The plum blossom is also a member of the “Four Gentlemen (四君子)” in Chinese art (the others being orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum), symbolizing nobility.
Each piece is completely unique and celebrates the ancient artists who crafted and hand-painted such elegant quality.
Finding complete examples of their work is extremely rare, so they are not only valued as pieces of jewelry but also as a valuable piece of art.
The originality of each example underlines it's classic, timeless appeal and makes a wonderful statement of excellence.
The perfect addition to your own personal collection or a precious gift for family members, friends and business partners.
The pendant is presented on a hallmarked silver chain and comes along with an identity card, a presentation purse, a silver polishing cloth and a nice brocade box.
This item is handmade from antique porcelain, and it's small imperfections are part of the beauty of working with these original materials. The chain is S925 International sterling silver.
