Genuine antique Qing Dynasty porcelain shard pendant, 100-300 years old. 44.5 x 34mm. Wrapped in a gold wash over copper bezel with a bail. In terms of quality and authenticity they are a cut above many of the reproduction shard pendants on the market today. These pendants were originally acquired by a collector who purchased them in China in the early 1980s. This shard can be worn on a chain, or a silk ribbon or incorporated into a necklace. Please let us know if you'd like a necklace made. A bit of history: During Mao Tse Tung's Cultural Revolution, many beautiful objects of art and jewelry were destroyed. In the1980s, the broken pottery fragments were salvaged and reworked into jewelry, boxes, and other art objects.
