How to choose a jade gourd?

To choose a satisfactory jade gourd, in addition to paying attention to its material, its craftsmanship is also an important object of consideration.

Although the jade gourd is simply two circles spliced ​​together, the smoothness of the lines, the roundness of the bottle, and the size proportions are all very sophisticated. Therefore, when purchasing jade gourds, you should pay special attention to the following two points in terms of craftsmanship:

1. Bottle body. The most important parts of the jade gourd are the two round bodies, which have a great impact on the overall shape of the jade gourd. Therefore, the parts where the circular bodies are joined are very critical. It is best to be round and smooth, not too flat or too long, and without extra facets and edges.

2. Lines. It is to look at the shape of the mouth of the jade gourd bottle, the connection between the bottle body and the bottle mouth, and the connection between the two circles of the bottle body. The jade gourd with high aesthetic value has a round mouth with appropriate thickness; the connection between the bottle body and the bottle mouth is natural and smooth, with a natural arc; the connection between the two circles of the bottle body is not too straight, nor is it concave, and the thickness of the connection is also appropriate.

In addition, if the jade gourd is carved in combination with other elements, we should not only look at whether the lines of each element are full and smooth, but also whether the combination of the two is natural to highlight the three-dimensional effect.
