This is an absolutely stunning vintage Chinese-style hand-carved soapstone double vase featuring elaborate flowers, leaves, vines, and openwork detailing.
Standing approximately 11 inches tall and weighing nearly 10 pounds, this is an exceptionally solid, sturdy, and substantial decorative piece. The impressive weight, intricate carving, and rich natural color variations give it the presence of a true statement sculpture.
DETAILS:
• Vintage hand-carved soapstone double vase
• Believed to date from the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s–1960s
• Approximately 11 inches tall
• Weighs nearly 10 pounds
• Two separate vase openings
• Elaborate raised floral, leaf, vine, and branch carvings

The carving is especially impressive, with deeply sculpted flowers and foliage extending across the front of the vase. The smaller attached vase and layered botanical design create wonderful depth and dimension from every viewing angle.
Because this piece appears to have been handmade from natural stone, the coloring, veining, carving details, and surface characteristics are unique. No two handmade soapstone carvings are exactly alike, giving this piece a truly one-of-a-kind appearance.
This would make a magnificent focal point in a living room, office, entryway, library, curio cabinet, or Asian-inspired décor collection. It would also be a wonderful addition for collectors of vintage Chinese carvings, soapstone art, floral sculptures, and unusual decorative vases.
