The listing, Unique Vintage Chinese Pink and Green Jade Bonsai Tree....No green thumb necessary!! has ended.
This is really a piece of art. You can actually shape this to how you like it. The branches are made of copper wire, enabling you to separate the wire more and have a fuller tree or stretch upwards and it would naturally be taller. It can be made "yours" very easily when you add your own personal touch and creativity.
The last three pictures are of the tree when I first bought it. I bought it from an auction and it was mailed to me. I really hadn't seen something like this up close, so I was surprised when I took it out of the box. Use these last 3 photos for comparison to the size when the branches (copper) was stretched in the first 6 photos. Again, if you don't like the shape when you receive it, it can be changed.
The close-up picture is just to show you the different sizes of the jade. Each piece is drilled and one wire is pulled through and the wire is then rewound into the "branch." I think the pink and green are beautiful together. When you stand back from the tree, it just blends so nicely you don't see wire. You visualize a tree.
The height is about 7". You can make it taller. The small dish is 4-3/4" x 2-1/4". I don't know what the gold lettering on the front says. It could be the artist's name. It might even say Bonsai tree. If you know what it says, I would so appreciate a message with that information.
Questions are certainly welcome. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks so much to all the people on Listia I consider my friends. The messages you send just to "check in" make my day. To offer things I love to my Listia family, makes me quite happy to know someone else gets to enjoy them.
So have fun and good luck. Mostly, thanks for taking the time to check my auctions and see what you can't live without.
***I'll answer this question in advance: No GIN and no changes to the number of days***
