Provenance: a Norwegian private collection, acquired while working at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beijing in the 1960s–1970s, and thence by descent

The 'squirrel and grapes' motif carries rich auspicious symbolism in Chinese art, representing themes of abundance and prosperity. Grapes, with their bountiful clusters of fruit, symbolise fertility and the desire for numerous descendants. Squirrels, celebrated for their vitality and agility, complement this imagery by embodying resourcefulness and vigour. Together, the motif conveys blessings for a flourishing family and a prosperous life. See a related jade pendant in the shape of squirrels and grapes, Qing dynasty, in the collection of the Capital Museum, illustrated in (中國傳世玉器全集), vol.6, Beijing, 2010, p.206. See a related white and russet jade 'squirrel and grapes' pendant, 18th/19th century, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 5 May 2025, lot 43.
Compare the jade monkey carving with a related jade 'monkey and peach' carving, Qing dynasty, in the collection of Kaifeng Museum, illustrated in (中國傳世玉器全集), vol.6, Beijing, 2010, p.112. See also a related white jade 'monkey and peach' group, Qing dynasty, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 10 May 2017, lot 93.
