I would say not, The faker has a few things right on one of the carvings but I would say the standard is generally poor...
Also most are not even based on hongshan models

Thanks for the response. I'm still learning..
Well, many early civilization jades were not well carved, lacking the tools. These could be older pieces made in imitation to ancient jades. What do you guys think?!

Well, I won't call it a fake. One can not expect all antique jades to look like the ones in museum, nor matches the ones in book collections. The quality of the ones in the pictures are still acceptable; at least, it doesn't look like the ones recently made within the last 20 years. They would still be consider good old imitation of older pieces.

No, probably made in the last ten years...The chinese are experts at aging all materials...
Sorry but you are just starting out on a long journey of jade discovery...EXPECT DISAPPOINTMENTS

If I told you, they were in storage for over 20 years...
The junks made in the last ten years to imitated ancient pieces do not appear like these.

No.... They are even more convincing today!!.. Someone who called all the above hongshan and thought they maybe genuine can not tell me about jade carving.... I am a third generation collector who bids on many of the worlds top jade sales as well as looking at my fair share of modern tat on other sites and stalls.... They are modern, worth 15 dollars each tops, for educational purposes

Convincing in Photoshop! If you found jades of these quality for $15, let me know.
