Posted By: EY Thu, May 14, 2015 I believe most of your flower pieces are from Ming or Qing dynasty. This kind of jades were usuually sew on cloth or hats. The dealer did a good job seperating jades from sepertine. Unfortunately, even though they are old, they are not worthy much in the market as they are small. If you bring these to an auction house, they probably will recommend sold as a lot with estimate value from $600 - $900, in my personal opinion. |
