Hello Bill,

Again I must warn you.

All these are horrible fakes, size, carving, withering from chemicals...phony characters...type of jade...

Go on Shanghai museum website look at their jades: high quality jades, notice the carving the size and general shape....

Remember Chicochai is the place to learn about that type of fake (remark they all have the same withering, phony characters and shape that correspond to none of Chinese historical period carving style, all of these are machine made).

They are too large to be real, jade vessels where made for princes and high rank family, you don't find them on the market, only in museums.


Regards,

Pipane
