Also, here are some notes I made regarding the articles recent valuation....

I believe the piece to be undyed, hand carved and antique, measuring approximately 26cm in height and 17cm at the base.

The actual carving itself contains the motifs of two kinds of vegetables, one is peas to mean many offsprings and the other is pumkin to mean lucky.

It is made from good quality nephrite with white color.

It should be genuine by presenting the antiquity evidences such as differential weathering, cleaving veins and diffusive markings.

It is probably an artifact of the Qing Dynasty(A.D. 1644- A.D. 1911)

Any comments?


Cheers,
Andrea.
