This is a very old tile an auction house stole from me about 7 years ago. My question is , is it jade of alabaster?
Did the Chinese use alabaster?
I am asking because I have a set of 8 screens, extrememly old painted on the same kind of material. A friend wants to purchase them, but if they are made of Jade they are worth quite a lot of money.
They are somewhat transclusant and have that raw, white jade feel to them.
Any help would be appreciated.
I will post more pics of the 8 screens soon.
