NOTE:   These Are Investment Items.  The Pearl Used To Craft These Counters Has Been Out Of Existence For Over 100 Years.
Unusually beautiful, hand engraved and carved on both sides; these one-of-a-kind gems of Chinese Art are over 200 years old.  Often crafted now into exquisite pieces of jewelry, they were originally gambling counters made during the 'Ching' Dynasty, the last Dynasty of Imperial China.    They were designed for the British who ordered them in boxed sets through the Far East India Company, trading with China in this period.
Many Counters available below in other sizes, shapes, types& qualities.
The crafting of these counters was never recorded and the technique cannot be reproduced today. Most of the counters would have been made while the brilliant Philosopher - Emperor, Ch'ien Lung was in power 1736 - 1796. This peaceful period of the Ching Dynasty, was famous for its superior art work, reaching its height in craftesmanship around c.1780 - c.1800. The exceptionally high quality of craftsmanship exhibited by these pieces can even be noted at extremely high magnification. The equally beautiful heavily carved counters are cut from thicker pearl shell, and would have been carved c.1800 - c.1820, around the period when another Philosopher - Ruler, 'Chia Ching' was Emperor.
Each one is a small GEM of the master craftsman's skill.
Most of the pieces show story-poem scenes of people in various life situations, both at work and at play, often employing a literary or counseling pose. Other items frequently portrayed are animals, birds, fish and insects. These symbolic scenes are thought to be the master craftsman's interpretation of Emperor Chien Lung's 34,000 philosophical poems written to bring China and her people back to a state of spirituality and peace after the preceding, long and warring 'Ming' dynasty.
