Chinese Hand-Carved Stone Duel Vase

Dual vase design: Two connected vases sharing one base, a common style in Chinese stone carvings.

Intricate floral carving: The flowers and foliage (possibly chrysanthemums or peonies) symbolize longevity, wealth, and honor in Chinese culture.

Pierced (openwork) carving: The detailed cutouts around the flowers and leaves show skilled craftsmanship.

Base and back carving: The underside shows the raw stone with chisel marks, indicating it was hand-carved.

These types of carvings were popular in 20th century China, particularly during the mid-1900s export era, when many were sold as decorative items in the West.
