Group of Chinese Tea Bowls and Carvings, comprising a Jian-style glazed tea bowl with dark, mottled glaze, two agate cups with warm translucent tones, and a circular bi disc carved from green hardstone. The contrast of ceramic and stone materials reflects both functional tea culture and the appreciation of natural stone carving, while the bi disc draws inspiration from archaic jade forms symbolizing ritual and continuity.
{Largest: height 1 1/2 inches x diameter 4 inches}.
