Rare Antique Natural Grey with Yellow White Patches Nephrite Double Pixiu Vase 3,014.3g 225.0 by 83.0 by 280.0mm

This is a striking and highly architectural piece of lapidary art. This Rare Antique Grey Nephrite "Double-Winged" Ritual Vase draws heavy inspiration from archaic bronze vessels (Fangzun), combining primitive power with refined jade carving.

Item Description

Material: Natural Nephrite Jade, featuring a sophisticated Grey base with Yellowish-White patches and calcified "earth-crust" inclusions. This coloration is highly prized by collectors of archaic-style jade, as it suggests the stone has "aged" alongside the earth, giving it a weathered, "Old Soul" aesthetic.

Design: A square-bodied ceremonial vessel with an architectural, multi-tiered lid and flanking handles.

• The Central Motif: The face of the vessel features a High-Relief Double Pixiu (Pi Yao) design. The two celestial creatures are mirrored in a symmetrical "heraldic" pose, their bodies forming the scrolling patterns that cover the body of the vase.

• The Handles: Flanking the body are two "Phoenix-Wing" or "Geometric Scroll" handles. These openwork carvings add a sense of lightness and ceremony to the otherwise heavy, grounded vessel.

• The Lid: A two-tiered, tapered lid topped with a rectangular finial. The lid is also incised with Taotie (Guardian Mask) motifs, ensuring that the contents—symbolically your luck and wealth—are guarded from all four sides.

Feng Shui & Symbolic Meaning

1. The Double Pixiu (Guardians of the Vault)

While your seals featured the Pixiu as "attractors," the Pixiu on a vessel act as "Holders."

• Wealth Retention: The Pixiu is famous for having no exit for the gold it consumes. On a vase, they signify that the wealth coming into your home will stay there. It is the ultimate cure for "money leaks" (unexpected expenses).

• Warding Off Evil: The fierce, mirrored gaze of the twin Pixiu serves to neutralize negative energy (Sha Chi) that enters a room, turning it into peaceful energy.

2. The Grey & Yellowish-White Nephrite

This "earth-tone" jade carries a very different energy than the vibrant greens:

• The Metal & Earth Connection: Grey represents the Metal Element (precision, justice, and business acumen), while the yellowish-white patches represent Earth (stability, nourishment, and foundations).

• Harmonizing Conflict: This combination is excellent for resolving family or office disputes. Earth "supports" Metal, creating an environment where logical, fair decisions are made.

• Grounding: The "calcified" appearance provides a strong grounding effect, making it an ideal piece for someone who feels their life or career is currently too volatile.

Best Placement: Home or Office

Because this is a vessel of "Earth and Metal," it belongs in sectors that govern stability and structural luck.

At Home (The Living Room or Dining Room)

• The Center of the Home (Tai Chi): Placing this "Earth-heavy" piece in the center of the house stabilizes the energy for everyone living there. It acts as an "anchor" for the family.

• The Northwest: Since this sector is governed by the Metal element, this grey jade vessel will strengthen the "Mentor" and "Patriarch" luck of the house, helping the head of the household gain respect and authority.

In the Office (The Safe or Filing Area)

• Near the Safe: If you have a safe or a place where you keep important financial records, place this vase on top of it. The Pixiu will symbolically "sit" on your wealth, protecting it from being taken or lost.

• The West Sector: This is the area of "Projects and Future Generations." Placing the vase here helps long-term projects reach a successful, "solid" conclusion.
