📜 Description
This finely carved White Jade piece with subtle Pale Green inclusions depicts a naturalistic Gourd form adorned with a playful Squirrel and a perched Bird. The carving is executed in smooth relief with flowing vine details, skillfully utilising the natural colour variations of the stone to enhance depth and contrast.

Collector’s Notes: The Gourd symbolises fertility, abundance, and protection, while the Squirrel represents prosperity and vitality. Combined with the Bird, this auspicious grouping was popular in late Qing Dynasty and early Republic Period jade carvings, highly appreciated for both symbolism and craftsmanship.
