Jewelry and jade can not be distinguished, the value of high or low can not understand, then please see Li Mengyu's jewelry jade science lecture hall!
At the end of the last issue, I will tell you about a jade cabbage that, in my opinion, can be compared with one of the "treasures of the town hall" of the National Palace in Taipei. This cabbage is now in the Tianjin Museum and is known as the emerald grasshopper cabbage. If jade cabbage is a complete and fresh cabbage, then jade grasshopper cabbage is a bad cabbage that has been frozen and the leaves have been eaten. The two jade cabbages are lifelike, each with its own strengths.
Compared with jade cabbage, jade grasshopper cabbage is even larger, 19.4 cm long, 14 cm wide, and weighs 2 kg. It is not difficult to see from the appearance of the two cabbages that the cabbage jadeite material of the Tianjin Museum is more dirty. White, yellow and green together, in the eyes of most people, not to mention how ugly! But this did not bother the carver, who made the part of the dry yellow color into the appearance of a bad cabbage and turned decay into magic. At this point, I think this ghost sculptor's whimsy is better than other cabbages. Compared with jade cabbage, although the material is slightly inferior, the carving is definitely better than half of it.
Both cabbages add the image of the grasshopper to it, which makes the jade cabbage more interesting. The difference is that the cabbage in Tianjin Museum also has a praying mantis, the praying mantis is the meaning of prosperity and gold and jade, and the grasshopper mantis is interesting together.
Emerald grasshopper cabbage, also known as frozen cabbage. The more I look at it, the more I admire the carvers, this wave of bold innovations, leaving the yellow color behind, creating a texture that has been frosted, making the cabbage more realistic. It is said that when it was found, it was in the cellar, and at that time, everyone did not care at first, it was really a bad cabbage. Think about this scene, it's funny.
Which of these two jade cabbages do you prefer?
