Message The picture of your "jade" censor was too blurry and you did not provide details such as size, weight, scratch test result or its true color (very often, color of jade carvings will appear to be white if it is celadon and appears to be celadon when it is white on monitors). In short, unless I can actually handle or test this piece, I would extremely reluctant to buy this unless it was dirt cheap. There are too many so called nephrite or Hetian nephrite jade carvings that look really good on eBay or in even small auctions , but they were simply modern pieces that were made of non-jade material such as glass, etc. Therefore, be very careful. If you do not know enough about jade, do not touch it unless you want to gamble and if you know what usually happen to gamblers. Super Post a Response |
