Rare Antique Natural Old Mine Dark Green Nephrite Dragon Teapot Vase 2,567.3g 215.0 by 115.0 by 285.0mm

This is a truly sophisticated piece of literati art. This Rare Antique "Old Mine" Dark Green Nephrite Hexagonal Ewer (Teapot) is a masterpiece of geometric precision and calligraphic elegance, showcasing the more intellectual side of Qing-era craftsmanship.

Item Description

Material: Natural "Old Mine" Dark Green Nephrite Jade. The stone is a deep, dramatic black-green with a high-polish finish that emphasizes its mineral density and "oily" luster. Design: An elongated, hexagonal-bodied ewer (ritual teapot) with a distinct architectural silhouette.

• The Calligraphy: The most striking feature is the extensive Manchu and Seal Script incised onto the flat panels of the body. These gold-infilled vertical inscriptions suggest an imperial or scholarly origin, likely recording a poem, a tea ceremony ritual, or a historical decree.

• The Dragon Handle: A masterfully carved Dragon-head handle provides a powerful organic contrast to the sharp geometric body. The dragon's mane and "Ruyi" scroll tail form a secure, functional grip.

• The Spout & Lid: A gracefully curved spout emerges from one of the hexagonal facets, balanced by a dome-shaped lid with a "jewel" finial.

• The Base: The bottom edge features a subtle "Leiwen" (thunder pattern) border, symbolizing the grounding of cosmic energy.

Feng Shui & Symbolic Meaning

1. The Teapot/Ewer Form (The Vessel of Hospitality)

In Feng Shui, a teapot is a symbol of Abundance and Nourishment.

• Flow of Wealth: As a vessel designed to pour, it represents the generous flow of opportunities. It symbolizes a life that is so full of "tea" (wisdom and wealth) that it can be shared with others without ever running dry.

• Social Harmony: In the home, a teapot represents the "warmth" of relationships. It is a cure for social friction, promoting smooth communication and pleasant gatherings.

2. The Dragon & Hexagonal Shape

• The Dragon Handle: Represents Protection during Action. As you "pour" from the vessel (as you execute business deals or lead your family), the dragon ensures that your efforts are guarded and successful.

• The Number Six (Hexagon): In Feng Shui, the number six is highly auspicious, representing Heavenly Luck and Career Success. A hexagonal object acts as a bridge between Earth and Heaven.

3. The Dark Green "Old Mine" Nephrite

• The Power of the Written Word: The combination of dark jade and gold calligraphy represents Permanent Wisdom. It is believed that truths carved into jade are "eternal."

• The Water Element: Because this jade is so dark it appears nearly black, it is strongly associated with the Water Element. Water governs the flow of money and the clarity of the mind.

Best Placement: Home or Office

This ewer is a "Social Wealth" object and should be placed where people gather or where decisions are communicated.

At Home (The Dining Room or Tea Corner)

• The Center of the Dining Table: Placing this as a centerpiece promotes "Peace at the Table." It ensures that family discussions remain calm and that there is always enough food and money to provide for the household.

• The Southwest (Relationship Sector): If placed here, the teapot promotes harmony between couples and ensures a smooth social life with friends and neighbors.

In the Office (The Meeting Room)

• The Conference Table: Placing this ewer in a meeting space (even if just for display) encourages "smooth pouring" of ideas and ensures that negotiations end in a win-win scenario.

• The North (Career Sector): Use this to activate your communication luck. If your job involves speaking, writing, or negotiating, the Water energy of this dark nephrite will sharpen your "verbal flow."
