Dear All,
I feel that we are here to study Asian art, and we should limit our discussions on art and not on any one's personality or business practice!
I don't agree with the V-shape jade Qing's dating as a Shang item, but I believe that this item is old, and possibly around Han or post Han. The material should be light green nephrite that the hardness should be above 5.5 in the hardness scale.
I am attaching a jpg that shows a Shang jade Fu-axe from the Bahr's Collection. The Shang Fu-axe shows some color that resembles Mircea's jade Qing. The Shang Fu-axe was sold at $122,550 at Christie's March 2009 Auction.
