Vintage Handmade Chinese Ceramic Pendant Necklace & Pouch

1990s handmade ceramic pendant necklace, which may be crafted from a repurposed or deliberately created ceramic piece (or "shard" in archaeological terms) with a green and white pattern, strung on an adjustable cord. Design and Materials Pendant: The central piece is a rounded, slightly crescent-shaped ceramic (or porcelain) pendant featuring a green and white design, possibly a floral or traditional Asian-inspired motif. Many similar artisan-made necklaces use repurposed sea pottery or broken vintage china, giving each piece a unique character. Cord: The pendant is attached to a dark, braided cord, likely made of hemp or leather, and features bright red wrapped accents near the pendant. This type of cord and knotting often allows the necklace length to be adjustable. Pouch: The necklace comes with a small, dark blue mesh pouch with a red drawstring, used for storage or as a gift bag. Potential Meaning While specific meanings depend on the artisan's intent or cultural context, ceramic jewelry is often associated with the following: Individuality and Authenticity: Handmade ceramic pieces are unique, allowing wearers to express their individuality and creativity. Connection to Nature: The natural, earthy qualities of clay can promote a sense of grounding and connection to the natural world. History and Resilience: Necklaces made from broken or sea-worn pottery (shards) can symbolize history, the stories of past lives, and the beauty found in imperfection, similar to the Japanese art of kintsugi (golden repair).
