Pair of unblemished Chinese celadon jade ruyi scepters. Ruyi can mean “may your wish be granted” as this is a wishing scepter held by the high officials of the day. Lotus flower head, with sinuous vines and branches detailing the surface. The handle flows into a single shallow arch making this piece comfortable to hold on. Ruyi can mean “may your wish be granted” as this is a wishing scepter held by the high officials of the day. Lotus flower head, with sinuous vines and branches detailing the surface. The handle flows into a single shallow arch making this piece comfortable to hold on the forearm. Jadestone is pristine with a greyish-celadon iridescence and creamy off-white coloration. Note: Jade, as a stone, has five virtues. Its glossiness and warmth is like benevolence. Because inside and outside is the same, so that knowing the outside one knows the inside, this may be likened to righteousness. Its far-reaching sound (when struck) may be heard from afar, like wisdom. It is not easily bent, but can be broken, which may be likened to courage. Jade can be sharpened, but not to the point where it can injure people; this quality is like self-regulation or restraint.
