Hongshan ( China & Japan ) - Awisean - Apr 02, 2014 (11:21 AM)

Based on the pictures, it seems that the jades from top and bottom ones are not of the period. However, the bird pendant in the middle photo could possibly of the period. However, one has to carefully examine in person to be more certain. All the subsequent jades in the later photo are not good as well.

As for the 300 Hongshan jades in existence, I believe they are the documented excavated and expert verified ones. An excellent reference to the documented excavated jades can be found in "The complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China" V2, NK 5750.2 C6 Z28, 2005, Science Press, China. However, there exist genuine Hongshan jades, albeit very few, that are still not accounted for. One advice, "Stop Buying Anymore" until you have read the literature, personally seen the real ones (Freer Gallery, Washington, DC, NY Met.) and, if possible talked to the museum curators. So far, I have not seen any genuine Hongshan jades, other than those sold at Christie's, and a couple of reputable auction houses in China. Even the ones sold in a New York dealer, supposedly verified by a Chinese expert, are not good, in my opinion. Good luck.
