Up for auction is a stunning Chinese carved soapstone floral vase, measuring 8 high x 5 x 2 1/2. This intricately designed piece showcases elaborate floral openwork, possibly featuring chrysanthemums, and brings a touch of elegance to any space. The vase does exhibit signs of time with visible small chips and breaks on the detailed carvings, minor nicks on the rim, and general surface wear. The unpolished base shows typical tool marks from its production in an export workshop during the mid-to-late 20th century. Despite these characteristics, this unique piece remains an excellent addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike!
