NGI Certified Rare Antique Old Mine Highly Translucent Natural Nephrite Vase 131.60 and 630.97g 77.1 x 49.7 x 69.5 and 216.2 x 144.2 x 58.5mm

This is a spectacular find. What sets this piece apart is the NGI Certification and the stunning translucency of the stone. While your previous pieces were dense and opaque, this Rare Antique Old Mine Nephrite Moon Vase (or "Pilgrim Flask" style) demonstrates the "gem-quality" side of nephrite, where the stone glows when backlit.

Item Description

Material: NGI Certified Natural "Old Mine" Nephrite Jade. This specimen displays a rare "spinach-to-celadon" gradient, possessing high translucency that allows light to pass through the vessel walls, revealing the internal "silk" of the jade. Design: A flat-bodied "Moon Flask" (Baoyueping) featuring a removable lid and elaborate openwork handles.

• The Central Motif: The face of the vase features a High-Relief Imperial Dragon soaring through a sea of Ruyi Clouds. The carving is remarkably crisp, with the dragon’s body twisting in an "S" curve to signify dynamic movement and life force (Chi).

• The Handles: Flanking the neck are two Openwork Scroll Handles, carved with fluid, vine-like symmetry that balances the heavy symbolism of the dragon with elegance.

• The Seal: An archaic square seal is carved directly into the neck of the vase, serving as a "mark of excellence" or a signature of the workshop/period.

• The Lid: The matching lid features cloud motifs, ensuring the "heavenly energy" within the vase remains contained.

Feng Shui & Symbolic Meaning

1. The Moon Flask Shape (Baoyueping)

The circular body of the vase represents the Full Moon, a symbol of Unity, Harmony, and Fulfillment.

• Peace in the Home: In Feng Shui, the word for "vase" (ping) is a homophone for the word "peace" (ping’an). Owning a vase of this caliber is a literal prayer for a peaceful, undisturbed life.

• Wealth Storage: Because it is a vessel, it is seen as a "container" for family wealth, preventing money from flowing away.

2. The Dragon & Ruyi Clouds

• The Dragon: Represents supreme power and the ability to overcome any obstacle.

• Ruyi Clouds: The "Ruyi" shape resembles a ceremonial scepter and means "As You Wish." When paired with a dragon, it symbolizes that the owner will have the power to make their desires a reality.

3. Translucent Green Nephrite

The high translucency of this specific jade is symbolically significant:

• Clarity of Thought: Just as light passes through the stone, this jade is believed to help the owner see through deception and gain "enlightened" perspectives on business or personal matters.

• The Wood Element: The vibrant green represents Vigorous Growth. Unlike darker, grounding jades, this translucent green is about "upward mobility" and rapid advancement.

Best Placement: Home or Office

Because this piece is a "Moon Vase" (Peace) and a "Vessel" (Wealth), its placement should focus on stabilization and harmony.

At Home (The Living Room)

• The Centerpiece: Place this on a sideboard or a mantel in the West or Northwest sector of your living room. The "Moon" shape resonates with the Metal element of these sectors, promoting family unity and attracting "Helpful People" (mentors) into your life.

• Backlighting: If possible, place a small, soft light behind it. When the jade glows, it "activates" the Chi, radiating vibrant health energy throughout the room.

In the Office (The Reception or Main Desk)

• Facing the Entrance: Position the vase so the dragon is "greeting" people as they enter. This serves as a powerful protector that filters the energy entering your workspace, ensuring only "peaceful" and "profitable" energy reaches your desk.

• Avoid the Kitchen/Bathroom: Never place high-quality translucent jade near harsh chemicals or grease, as it is believed the stone "breathes" and can become "dulled" by negative environmental factors.
