This nineteenth-century decorative spoon exemplifies Mughal craftsmanship, combining two-tone nephrite jade in grey and white hues. The object features a scalloped, fluted petal bowl attached to a neck adorned with carved leaf mouldings. Above this, the curved grey haft displays feather detailing and terminates in a zoomorphic finial shaped as a peacock or bird head, complete with a distinct beak and carved eye. The piece measures 21 cm high, 5.5 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this decorative spoon sits comfortably on a bookshelf within a gentleman's library or study. The contrasting stone colours and detailed stone carving offer a textural display item for collectors of Asian art or small-scale sculpture. The solid mineral construction requires minimal upkeep while introducing traditional craftsmanship to a decorative interior display.

FAQs

Mughal jade carvings are recognised for their detailed lapidary work, often featuring organic forms, floral motifs, and zoomorphic elements influenced by Islamic and Indian artistic traditions.

These pieces were typically carved from nephrite jade or jadeite, using abrasion techniques with mineral grits to shape the hardstone into contoured forms.

Authentic pieces display subtle hand-carving marks, smooth tactile polishing without modern machine sheen, and characteristic structural joins or multi-coloured stone selection.

Position the item inside a glazed cabinet or display on a dark wooden surface, such as a bookshelf, to highlight the contrasting colours and translucent qualities of the stone.

Dust gently with a soft cloth and wash with mild soap and lukewarm water if necessary, avoiding chemical solvents or ultrasonic cleaners.
