Chaozhou Jade Carving

Chaozhou Jade Carving

　　 During the Ming Dynasty, workshops producing jade artifacts already existed in Chaozhou. Chaozhou jade carvings primarily use southern jadeite as the main material, while in recent years, they have also incorporated Liaoning xiuyu, Henan duyu, and Canadian jadeite. The products are simple and elegant, with main varieties including jewelry, human figures, potted plants, censers and vases, tea and wine sets, bowls, and more. Chaozhou’s jade carving products are highly favored by compatriots in Hong Kong, Macau, and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and are also very popular in the domestic tourism market.
