I also have a similar question regarding my piece.
Is it real stone? If so, what kind? It feels cold to the touch. It has brown and white inclusions. Any ideas what the characters on the sail mean? It’s 18” long x 16” tall x 3” wide.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance, Sophie

Your dragon boat is serpentine and dates to the later 20th century.

Many thanks for clarifying this for me Mark. Greatly appreciated.
Sophie

You have to get better photos.
PS. This type of boat was mass produced, and the material was Serpentine, not Jade. Perhaps we can see more with better pictures.
Ernest

Thank you for your reply Ernest. I figured it wasn’t jade, that is what I was told.
I’ll try again with the photos. My original ones were too large, so that may be why the detail couldn’t be seen.
How do you make them smaller for this forum?
Sincerely Sophie

Characters on the sail,
一帆風順　-　Yifan-fengshun - Smooth sailing

With regards,

Thank you so much I. Nagy! That’s incredible!
Kindest Regards to everyone who has helped me identify this piece.
Sophie.
