chinese carved soapstone bud vases.
1my parents had a couple of these, the red ones. we called them "red jade". my sibling inherited one, and i the other. as i've come across more here and there, i've scooped them up. now i have 4. another little collection of pretty things. there appear to be a couple of different styles, and levels of detail, possibly regional. they still make these for export. maybe one day i should have them appraised, but i just like to look at them. little universes unto themselves.
