Subject:Jade female statue - authentication and value
Posted By: Paul Ramey Mon, Dec 08, 2014 IP: 69.180.68.118 I have just come across this beautiful statue of a woman pouring flowers out of a pot. It appears to be jade, whitish green with specks. Not sure what to make of it; the craftsmanship is beautiful, but have no idea how to place it timewise or valuewise. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
