A pale green jade bowl features a wide, flared rim and a low circular base. The translucent stone transitions to milky white, marked by dark brown veins and a vertical crack on our left. Raised carvings of scrolling vines, pointed leaves, and six-petaled flowers wrap the exterior. A textured border resembling twisted rope circles the rim. From our viewpoint, light catches the stone's clouded surface, making the ornate botanical motifs appear to float.
