Subject:Dynasty Mark? Chinese Silver Imperial Jade Cup?
Posted By: Steve G. Sat, Dec 10, 2016 IP: 107.72.164.56
Looking for a little help in this cup. It was a gift from a good friend and I would like to know a bit more about it.

What does the mark translate too?

Any info on age or region?

I appreciate your help in advance.

Kind Regards,
Steve G.

Sorry, bad news: the Jade is not Jade, those were made for the tourist trade about 40 years ago. Then they were supposedly from Tibet

I appreciate your knowledge Ernest.

I tested the silver yesterday and it came back bad as well. I figured it wasn't jade after that.

Happy Holidays!

Kind Regards,
Steve Griffin

Yes. Steve, and many people pay big money for items like that
Now you have a good item for your study. The Jade, if it is a stone, most likely will be dyed Serpentine.

Good luck
Ernest
