"Harmonious Beauty" (He He Mei Mei) – A Masterpiece Jade Table Screen

Presented here is a magnificent double-sided carved jade table screen titled 《和和美美》 (Harmonious Beauty), created in the year 2012 (the Year of the Water Dragon, 壬辰年). This piece is a quintessential representation of the esteemed "Yangzhou Workmanship" (扬州工), meticulously crafted by the renowned Yangzhou Youjuntang (有君堂) jade carving studio.

Key Artistry & Features

• Premium Material & Translucency: Carved from a substantial slab of top-tier nephrite jade (碧玉), the screen possesses a deep, dignified spinach-green hue under natural light. However, its true marvel is revealed when backlit: the jade instantly comes alive, transforming into a vibrant, translucent imperial vivd green, showcasing a pure, mesmerizing gemstone quality.

• Double-Sided Deep Relief Carving: Demonstrating the pinnacle of Yangzhou’s traditional multi-layered relief technique, the screen is intricately carved on both sides. The front depicts a vivid, auspicious scene of mandarin ducks swimming amidst lush lotus blossoms—a traditional Chinese symbol of eternal harmony, marital bliss, and prosperity. The reverse features a poetic, serene night scene of a wind-swept lotus pond.

• The Perfect Pairing: The jade plaque is cradled within a custom-crafted, openwork frame made of precious, antique-finished Huanghuali wood (黄花梨). The rich, golden-red tones and natural grain of the Huanghuali wood complement the cool elegance of the green jade perfectly, elevating it from a mere carving to a monumental piece of scholar’s studio furniture.

• Pedigree and Provenance: Engraved with the master’s signature and the cyclical date Ren-Chen (2012), this piece represents a golden era of contemporary jade collecting. Created over a decade ago when premium large-scale jade boulders were more readily available, it carries immense artistic, historical, and investment value.

Summary for Collectors

"A symphony of rare jade, precious timber, and master craftsmanship."

This table screen is not just an ornament for the desk; it is a timeless heirloom. Melding the profound cultural weight of Yangzhou artistry with the natural splendor of fine jade and Huanghuali, "Harmonious Beauty" stands as a monumental treasure worthy of the finest private collections.
