Posted By: Super Tue, Feb 09, 2016 Do not believe it was made of real jade, possibly some types of shousan stone. I believe it could be easily scratched, just like those characters there, did not really mean a lot. |

Posted By: Michael O Wed, Feb 10, 2016 Super is right and I think those characters scratched on the base are in fact 寿山 (Shou Shan). You can do your own research on it. |
