A lot comprising two 20th-century Chinese decorative stone carvings. The first is a sculpture of a grape cluster, featuring individual grapes carved from semi-precious stone, likely serpentine or jadeite, in shades of pale green and mottled purple-red. The second item is a hand-carved soapstone vase of foliate form, depicting a central lotus blossom surrounded by large, curling leaves. This piece is fashioned from mottled grey and white soapstone with dark mineral inclusions and stands on an integral carved foot.
